Apostle Tommy Bell, born and raised in Indianola, MS. Apostle Bell accepted his calling at the young age of 13 years, under the leadership of his grandfather Rev. McKinley Mack Sr. Apostle Bell was quickly called to pastor his first church at the tender age of 17 years, but that didn’t come without conflict because of his age. He also was a standout football player, which afforded him the opportunity to play college football where he obtained a BS in biology from the University of Texas. Apostle Bell furthered his education with another BS in Religion from Liberty University with a double minor in counseling and apologetics. Apostle Bell later went on to get his masters in divinity from Liberty University with a concentration in Theological Studies. Apostle Bell decided to take a big jump to complete his training and received his Doctorate in Urban Ministries from South University. Apostle Bell is currently working at the V.A Hospital where he serves as the Chief of Chaplains Service and over the school of ACPE.

History of the Church
The church was established on May 10, 2011 in our living room with five people present in the first bible study. My wife and I were a traveling team and we were on the road just about every other weekend ministering in other states around the country. Until Tabitha spoke what was pulling in my heart for about year “I need a word before we go out to minister to other I think you should have at least a bible study for the team.” Three months later we launched our first bible study in our living room, We quickly grew with in the first 8 months to over 150 members and TTWM has been considered by many in this region and nationally as a place where leaders are developed and trained with the spirit of excellence to help fulfill God’s great commission. Apostle Bell has also helped other pastors in the area establish 4 ministries in the local area with some over 10 year and still going. We are now in the process of opening a new location in Vicksburg, MS where Apostle Bell is seeking in prayer about the next leader of that location.
Our Statement of Beliefs
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the ‘breaking of bread’.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.
We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
