About Living Word Empowerment Ministries

---

Bishop Neville Wolliston grew up in a ministerial home and accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of nineteen. Following his believer's baptism, he developed a deep passion for Christ and a desire to reach lost souls.

In 1984, after hearing the call of the Lord to pastor, Bishop Wolliston received his ministerial credentials. He understood that pastoral calling involved more than just being an inspirational speaker. With a burden for betterment, he pursued ministerial studies and earned postgraduate degrees in Psychology and Biblical Studies. In 2003, he completed a Psychology of Counseling degree at the United Christian College in Hartford, CT. Additionally, in 2005, he obtained a Doctor of Divinity degree from the Anchor Theological Seminary in Edinburg, Texas. In June of 2014, he was consecrated to the office of a Bishop by the I.C.I.P.B. and in 2019, he received a humanitarian award from CGLM for his commitment to service in Africa. Most recently, in 2021, he was honored with an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy in Practical Ministry from the New England University.

Bishop Wolliston lives a purpose-driven life and is known as a vibrant, enthusiastic leader and proficient orator. He challenges his parishioners to strive for excellence and accountability, urging them to embrace their God-given mandate to be disciples for the Kingdom.

Currently serving as the Presiding Prelate of the Living Word Empowerment Ministries and President of the Living Word Bible Institute, Bishop Wolliston has expanded the ministry to various locations including Bridgeport, Connecticut, Springfield, Massachusetts, Ontario, Canada, Ghana, West Africa, and South Africa. His vision is to serve the "total man" by offering hope to those facing challenges, providing encouragement for personal growth, and assisting believers in fulfilling their purpose.

A man of integrity and excellence, Bishop Wolliston is highly respected by his peers. His life is a testament to the divine favor and calling of God, as he often says, "If God can't do it, it can't be done!"
