Word of Life & Uppsala
Welcome to the Church
When you come to LOBC, you are not only coming to a Bible school but also to an active and vibrant church community.
Word of life
Who is Word of Life?
Since Livets Ord was founded on May 24, 1983, we have dreamed, built, developed, and shaped a church that loves Jesus and loves people.
We aim to be a warm and outward-looking church, a place where people, young and old, can feel truly at home and included in the Christian community. This also applies to everyone who comes to our Bible school. Here, you are given the opportunity to grow both as a person, in your faith in Jesus, and in your creativity. Becoming involved in the church while attending LOBC not only provides opportunities to develop in various areas but also makes Uppsala feel like home during your year at Bible school. Welcome here, welcome home!

Word of Life Vision & Work
We work in many ways both in Uppsala, across Sweden, and globally, with the goal of making the love of Jesus accessible to as many people as possible. The calling we received from the Lord in the beginning, and which we have always worked from, is summed up in these words: “Equip God’s people with His words of faith. Show them the spiritual weapons they have. Teach them to use them and send them out in victorious battle for the Lord.”
This vision is expressed in everything from our local church and community activities, to our social efforts among refugees, the homeless, and the vulnerable in Uppsala. It also extends to mission work, Bible schools, and humanitarian efforts in many countries around the world. Today, we have approximately 3,000 registered members in the church in Uppsala. Livets Ord is part of the Word of Faith movement.
