In October 2000, Elder Wade K. Smith was given the vision to begin a church. Being led by faith, he collaboratively formed the name "Everlasting Word Christian Church" and began to bring the vision to pass.On November 9, 2000, Elder Smith held a Bible Study at his home with family and friends and the first worship service on November 12, 2000. With unfeigned love and support for Pastor Smith and his vision, Greater Rehoboth Church of God in Christ in Dearborn, Michigan opened their doors and this shepherd led his flock to worship services at their chapel. Still operating by faith and continuing with the vision given him, Pastor Smith pursued, and was blessed with a new church home and parsonage on Collinson in Eastpointe, Michigan. After many laborious days and nights of construction and reconstruction, painting , cleaning and building, Everlasting Word was able to occupy their new edifice in July 2001. Subsequently, the consecration service was held on September 16, 2001 where the congregation dedicated themselves, joined by Jamison Temple Baptist Church (Pastor Homer & Co-Pastor Royal Jamison), Maiden House (Pastor Mathis), and a host of ministers, family & friends. On January 17, 2009, Pastor Smith and the EWCC Family moved to a new building located at 22707 Harmon, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080. As Pastor Smith diligently follows the vision, he is constantly growing God's Kingdom. We know with Gods blessing Everlasting Word Church Of God In Christ will continue to flourish as we introduce God's presence by evangelizing and teaching God's Word with love throughout the community.
