Surge Church began as the Living Word Church in 1979 out of a desire to worship God freely and preach the Gospel in an atmosphere of spiritual liberty. After 25 years, the founding Pastors Jerry and Janice Sullivan passed the leadership down to their son and daughter-in-law, Brad and Mary Sullivan, in March of 2015.  In April 2019, the church was renamed Surge Church with a positive experience of worship, praise, and bible teachings that is moving the church into its future vision.
