Living Waters Lutheran Church is committed to welcoming and equipping all who seek to discover and express God’s love. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are active online and are planning in-person activities in line with public-health guidelines. For daily updates and spiritual uplift, find us on Facebook!
#LivingWatersLive
In-person activities at Living Waters remain limited until further notice, but we are very much open online, in prayer, and in service. We are providing many ways to be church from our homes and online. Click here for updates and details, including information about the congregational council's planning for physical reopening.
To keep our community safe, we ask that everyone attending Living Waters in-person events wear a mask, refrain from hugs and handshakes, observe a 6-foot social distance, and complete a health checklist that will be provided.
View our services, prayers, Bible studies, and other videos on our YouTube page.
