Who are we?Leader: Living Waters Bible Church! Who are we?

Members: We are a community of Christian believers who are crazy in love with God. We are refreshing in our approach to meaningful ministry because we don’t settle for tradition. We are relentless in our pursuit of God’s presence, power and provisions. We are real people who are constantly challenged by the WORD of God to grow spiritually, emotionally, and economically. As a result, we are water walkers, mountain movers, and healers of the wounded. We strengthen the weak empower the powerless and love the people! We are turning the world upside down for Christ. Who are we? We are the Living Waters Bible Church!

The Problem

People are disconnected from God and His church. There are over 30,000 people in a 1 mile radius of us and 85% aren’t in a growing relationship with God. As a result:• People have lost hope, families are falling apart, men are absent, women are frustrated,

children are trying to escape, crime is on the rise, the economy is on life support
