Sword of the Spirit the Christian Center was established on February 9, 1989 by it's Pastor, Willie L. Anderson acting in obedience to the call of God.  In the words of Pastor Anderson, "God gave me a vision of a Christian Church in the city of Camden where the Word of God is taught through Jesus Christ: without compromise; where the praise and worship of God flows freely under the anointing of the Holy Spirit; where all believers can come together without respect of race, gender, economic or social background."​
