Our Values

Listed below are some important values that we share here. Different than core beliefs, which are doctrinally founded, these core values guide our actions and are relationally founded. We believe that they are some of the things that make Living Waters Church unique.

Core Value #1

His glory is our goal

Everything we do must serve to build the Kingdom of our King.

Core Value #3

Love for God and people must be foundational in all we do
