Living Water Ministries Core Values

PEOPLE, NOT PROGRAMS

We reach out to real and/or felt needs of individuals.  Programs will be developed to meet needs but will not be the centerpiece of our mission.  We will put people first and the organization second.  We choose to be servants, loving everyone in the midst of their dilemmas of life.  We are seeking spirit-led and innovative ministry at all times.  

We embrace those who attend Living Water Ministries as individuals through whom God desires to minister.  Our purpose is enabling and equipping saints to do ministry.  The staff will serve the body and constantly look for opportunities to equip our members to involve themselves in ministry.  

PRAYER

Dialogue with God is the focal point of developing communion as well as building an intimate relationship with Him.  Communion with God is the means to interact with the power and presence of God.  Since we cannot survive on human ingenuity, we must seek the Father for His power, anointing, and presence in our everyday lives.  Therefore, prayer is absolutely esssential.

PRAISE

We attempt to maintain music that is current with our culture.  We utilize multiple connection points in both worship and the delivery of the word.  Drama, multi-media, visuals, worship teams, and props are utilized to engage people.  We encourage and facilitate participatory worship.

PREACHED WORD

We will be a bible-focused organization.  We believe in scripture as the never-changing, perfect, divinely inspired Word of God.  As such, it will never fail as our operations manual.  Therefore, we choose to be clearly biblical in our orientation.  We intend to lead individuals to a deeper walk with the Lord as we declare the Word of God.  

POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We can do nothing of lasting value without Him.  Yet, as He operates among us through the flow of His gifts, lives are changed and transformed by grace.
