Living Water's DNA - Community

We believe following Jesus is something that we do together. We love sharing life with one another. For this reason LifeGroups are the heart of our church because in these small groups we find acceptance and belonging as we learn to live in the love of Jesus. God’s love is experienced in the love of his people in community.

We are really excited about how the Lord is at work in people's lives through lifegroups, as a leader of a lifegroup, we acknowldge the responsibility and commitment you have made to this ministry and we are praying the Lord's blessing on you as you serve him in this way.
