It all started when…

Living Word Memphis was founded in March 2010 by Pastor Derek Talbird. He personally led a group of young adults from the University of Memphis and the local Memphis area to Jesus Christ. They received the gifts of speaking in tongues, was Holy Spirit baptized, and became an army for God. After hosting a 90-day revival in 2014, suddenly Apostle Derek Talbird and Living Word Memphis became a hub for revival for not only the city but for the Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi region. His impact has transformed Living Word Memphis to a city Church that impacts the community at-large.
