Who We Are?

Word Alive Church International was birthed on May 1, 1994, as a Bible study group led by Bishop Wesley T. Cherry, originally consisting of four families. By remaining faithful to the vision of the ministry and following the leading of the Holy Spirit, the ministry witnessed continual growth as the Lord added covenant partners to the church and souls to the Kingdom of God.
In 1995, the ministry joined the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International (F.G.B.C.F.I.), establishing its apostolic covering and spiritual alignment. In October 1999, Pastor Cherry was elevated to the office of District Overseer for the Northern Virginia District of the F.G.B.C.F.I.
Also in 1999, the ministry became affiliated with Faith Bible College and began serving as a satellite site for individuals seeking theological education and opportunities to earn college credit.
In 2007, Overseer Cherry was installed into the Office of Bishop in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2010, Bishop Cherry was elevated to serve as the Bishop of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He faithfully served the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the people of God until the Lord called him home on May 28, 2025.
Throughout its history, Word Alive Church International has remained committed to transforming lives through dynamic worship, biblical teaching, outreach, discipleship, and service, making an impact within the local community and extending its influence to individuals and families across the nation and abroad.
Building upon this strong spiritual foundation, enduring legacy of leadership, and steadfast vision, Pastor Mark R. Danner Sr. and First Lady Latandra M. Danner were officially installed on March 8, 2026, as the Senior Pastor and First Lady of Word Alive Church International.
Their installation marked the beginning of a new chapter of ministry centered on love, unity, spiritual growth, community impact, and youth advancement for generations to come. The mission and vision are embodied in the name itself — Word Alive Church International.
