CHURCH HISTORY
Word of God Christian Center of South Carolina (WGCC) was established under the leading of the Holy Spirit and through faith in and obedience to God’s word. Pastor Henry Givens, the founding pastor of Word of God Christian Center (WGCC), first sensed the call to ministry while in high school. That call to ministry remained with Pastor Givens and continued to deepen and intensify over the years. In the early 1990s, Pastor Givens openly began to accept and acknowledge his calling, and he began to explore avenues to prepare to fulfill the call.
The foundation of WGCC dates back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, when a small group of individuals began to host prayer in their home, for a new move of God to occur within their community. During that same time, while still enrolled in ministry studies in the School of Ministry at More Than Conquerors College in Charlotte, NC, Pastor Givens sensed the Holy Spirit leading him to relocate back to the Hardeeville area and southeastern South Carolina, to establish a ministry and call it, “Word of God Christian Center” (WGCC). Pastor Givens followed the leading of the Holy Spirit and relocated from Charlotte, NC to South Carolina to establish WGCC. In April 2011, Pastor Givens became pastor and founder of Word of God Christian Center (WGCC).
Word of God Christian Center (WGCC), is an independent, non-denominational, word-of-faith church. Pastor Henry Givens was ordained by Pastor Robyn Gool, of Victory Christian Center (VCC), in Charlotte, NC. Pastor Givens receives Pastor Robyn Gool as his Senior Pastor.
