In 1980, Word of Life was founded by Pastors Ronnie and Paige Sims after attending RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Through the years, there have been several location changes, but in 2001, our central campus moved to Lakeland Drive in Flowood, MS.

Today, Word of Life has three campuses (Lakeland, Highland Colony, and Online) and is led by their son, Pastor Joel Sims, and his wife, Peppi. 

NextGen is where Kids + Youth meet! We want your kids to grow up loving church, so we make NextGen a place where every child and student can have a blast while learning about the Bible.
