In the small town of Lula, Georgia, Spoken Word Church was established on July 4th, 1971 by Brother Earnest Mote and Brother Samuel Dale. Brother Earnest Mote was the pastor and Brother Samuel Dale was the assistant pastor until 1975 when Brother Mote resigned and Brother Dale became the pastor.

Since that time, Brother Dale’s vision and desire has been to get the people properly established in the Word of God for their day, so that they themselves will go and demonstrate through their everyday lives that Jesus Christ is indeed the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever. This same vision has resonated with our congregation not only as something that we want for ourselves, but for others outside of our four walls. This is achieved by ministering to our local communities, as well as through our missionary endeavors both near and far. We have witnessed God doing great things in our midst, and His Grace is what has kept us these last 50 years and it’s His Grace that will continue to see us through. To Him be all the glory and praise.
