Word of truth in christ CHURCH
Before the church had an official name, it was referred to as Word of Truth. The ministry started on February 1, 2018, as a morning prayer conference call led by Ouicia Jolly. God used the Word of Truth to encourage members to practice and exemplify the Word daily and during challenging times, such as the 2020 pandemic. The ministry progressed by adding various services, including Saturday Bible Study, Sunday Morning services, and annual spiritual practices. In 2019, due to an increase in members and services, Minister Jethro Harden joined as an Associate Minister to assist in spreading the gospel. In 2019, Ouicia Jolly was ordained as an Evangelist through Rehoboth Community Church and served both ministries until 2021. In 2020, the ministry transitioned from conference calls to video conferencing to engage members in a virtual face-to-face environment. Minister Telisa Harden joined the leadership team later that year and initiated the Youth Ministry.
In 2021, Word of Truth was officially established as a ministry under the name Word of Truth In Christ Ministry Inc. Later that year, a new partnership was formed with The SingWell Church, under the leadership of Apostle Pamela Bynum, to expand the ministry through spiritual networking. In 2022, Ouicia Jolly was consecrated to the office of an Apostle, and Minister Jethro Harden was ordained as Pastor. In the same year, Word of Truth In Christ Ministry changed its name to Word of Truth In Christ Ministries Inc., based on the vision from God that the ministry would build walking ministries. Today, Apostle Jolly and Pastor Harden are following God's vision to lead a spiritual home for souls seeking salvation and a consistent relationship with God. In 2024, the ministry's name was elevated to Word Of Truth In Christ Church to establish a foundation for sound doctrine, training disciples, and ministering to souls for salvation.
Word of Truth In Christ Church continues to endeavor to build relationships with God and demonstrate the Word of Truth.
