Together we will grow:
  • Faithfully in Christ
  • As a Community of Christ
  • In Service to Christ
The aim of Living Waters is to grow people in faith as an individual, in your family (whatever shape that is), in the community (both faith and land area) and in service to Christ.

Faith 

At Living Waters we strive to grow in faith.  We strive to growth through six faith disciplines which guide our lives.
  • Prayer
  • Worship
  • Reading
  • Serving
  • Relationships
  • Giving
When we grow in these areas we grow in our faith.  

Our Community 

Living Waters is a diverse, multi generational community of people who are gathered in the name of Christ to share each others struggles and achievements.  There are many opportunities throughout the week and year where we gather for community.

Service 

Throughout the year there are many opportunities to serve in the name of Christ.  Our service is done out of gratitude for what Christ has first given to us.  The ways we serve are many and varied.  Living Waters has a particular heart for alleviating hunger, serving children as well as the under served in our community.
