Values.
The heart of Living Waters is to see people in a real and genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether it’s on a Sunday or midweek gathering, a student ministries retreat, or one of our many church events, He is the central theme behind everything that we do. Whether you’re here merely to find out more about Jesus, or a Christ-follower looking to connect with others in ministry, we believe Living Waters can be a wonderful place for you as you grow and develop in your relationship with Christ.
Our desire here is that everyone who enters the doors of our church feels loved, supported and is deeply inspired to make a difference in the world, both locally and globally.
For more information about us, please check out some of the other areas of our site. Please also feel free to contact our office, stop by for a walk-through, or plan a visit to one of our Sunday or midweek gatherings.
We hope to see you soon!
Beliefs.
The scriptures inspired.
The scriptures, both the old and new testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of fair and conduct
The one true God.
The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally self-existent “I am,” the creator of heaven and earth and the redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as father, son, and Holy Spirit.
The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal son of God.
The fall of man.
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
The salvation of man.
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
The ordinances of the church.
A. Baptism in water.
B. Holy communion.
The baptism in the Holy Ghost.
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts, and their uses I the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth.
The initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God give them utterance.
Sanctification.
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in his death and resurrection, and by the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.
The church and its mission.
The church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the spirit, with divine appointment for the fulfillment of her great commission.
The ministry.
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the church in:
A. Evangelization of the world
B. Worship of God
C. Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His son.
Divine healing.
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
The blessed hope.
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep I Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remains unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
The millennial reign of Christ.
The second coming of Christ included the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
The final judgement.
There will be a final judgement in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their words. Whosoever is not found written in the book of life, together with the devil and his angels, the best and false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burnets with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
The new heavens and the new earth.
”We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth where in dwelleth righteousness.”
