Living Word Christian Fellowship is a Christian church in Lee Green, South East London, England, UK. It was founded by Curdell McLeod in 2000 to “worship and minister the Word of God” and with “a clear mandate to go out into all the world to preach the gospel and to bring healing and deliverance to the oppressed.”
Pastors
The original pastor of the church was Curdell McLeod. Originally from Jamaica, she and her husband came to Britain in the 1950s. In the 1970s, they started a Homework Study Centre, facilitating after-school supplementary education for local underachieving and underprivileged children. Curdell previously worked in the Civil Service and in education.
In 1992 Curdell left her job as Deputy Principal of a further education college to enter full-time Christian ministry. She had been involved in pastoral ministry since 1988 through radio ministry on London's Premier Christian Radio, a TV series called The Living Word on Sky TV Channel 173, and teaching at Hampstead Bible College and South London Christian College.
Rev. Dr. Curdell McLeod died on 9th October 2019. The church continued under the leadership of her husband, Associate Pastor Herbert McLeod, her daughter Dr Jacqueline McLeod and her son David McLeod, with three other leaders and several staff.
