About The Word Center
The Word Center Church of God in Christ is conveniently located in the city of Long Beach, California, and was founded on June 1, 2004 by the divinely inspired Pastor J.O. Burns. Being passionate, diligent, and purpose driven, Pastor Burns answered God's call to preach the gospel. His ministry reaches beyond the walls of his local congregation, which is to the youth often inexperienced in the things of God. Their families have all been affected as the members apply what they have learned in every aspect of their lives. The Word Center C.O.G.I.C. is a faith based ministry that reaches out into the Long Beach community with collaborative efforts to make a difference and spread the Good News.
Pastor J. O. Burns is a fourth generation Church of God in Christ preacher. Born on the predestined day of December 17, 1966, he is the grandson of Pastor Thomas Burns, the great grandson of late Pastor Eddie Burns and son of First Lady and evangelist Esther Burns Pullings. He began his discipleship and ministry in South Jamaica Queens, New York as early as God would have it, and was about his Father's business by age 19. Pastor Burns is a follower of the gospel and a devout believer in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Pastor Burns kept his divine appointment as led by the Holy Spirit from the streets of New York to Long Beach, California, where he met and married the now First Lady Nicole Burns in May 2003. Together Pastor and Mrs. Burns founded The Word Center church of God in Christ in June of 2004. Pastor Burns has been blessed with two wonderful children. Sacha Burns Arnell, age 19 and most recently a son, J. O. Burns II.
Pastor Burns is graduate of O. M. Kelly Bible Institute and the Interdenominational Theological Seminary School. He continues to press towards the mark of the higher calling in Christ Jesus and is truly dedicated to doing the will of God.

We believe the bible to be the inspired and only infallible written word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God, which is in Christ at his return.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance, faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.
We believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit , according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a Holy and separated life in this present world.
