Our Values

At Living Water Church, everything we do is rooted in our mission:

"We stand firm in biblical truth and boldly proclaim the whole counsel of God's Word. Our vision is to share the hope of salvation, equip believers through biblical truth, and make disciples, shining Christ’s light in our community and beyond."

From this vision, we hold fast to core biblical values that guide our church, shape our ministry, and define how we live as followers of Christ.

1. We Stand Firm in Biblical Truth

"Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth." – John 17:17

We believe that God’s Word is the foundation of everything we do. We do not conform to cultural trends or opinions but remain steadfast in the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27). The Bible is our authority in all matters of faith and practice, shaping our beliefs, decisions, and mission.

What this means:

  • We teach and preach the Bible faithfully and without compromise (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

  • We reject false teachings and cultural distortions of Scripture (Jude 3-4).

  • We encourage every believer to grow in biblical knowledge and obedience (Psalm 119:105).

2. We Boldly Proclaim the Gospel

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." – Romans 1:16

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the center of our message and mission. We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). We exist to proclaim this hope of salvation to our community and beyond.

What this means:

  • We preach Christ crucified and risen (1 Corinthians 2:2).

  • We engage in local and global evangelism, calling people to repentance and faith (Matthew 28:19-20).

  • We equip our members to share their faith with boldness and clarity (2 Corinthians 5:20).

3. We Equip Believers Through Biblical Truth

"He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." – Ephesians 4:11-12

A healthy church is one where believers are equipped and strengthened in the Word. We do not exist just to gather a crowd, but to train and send disciples who are deeply rooted in sound doctrine, godly living, and effective ministry.

What this means:

  • We teach the full counsel of God’s Word (Acts 20:27).

  • We train believers to live and defend their faith (1 Peter 3:15).

  • We invest in biblical leadership development and discipleship (2 Timothy 2:2).

4. We Make Disciples Who Make Disciples

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." – Matthew 28:19-20

Discipleship is at the heart of everything we do. Jesus didn’t call us just to make converts—He called us to make disciples who follow Him in every area of life. We aim to equip and send believers to multiply their faith in others.

What this means:

  • We prioritize one-on-one discipleship, mentorship, and small group growth (Colossians 1:28-29).

  • We call every believer to spiritual maturity and obedience to Christ (Luke 9:23).

  • We seek to train and send out disciple-makers in homes, workplaces, and the nations (2 Timothy 2:2).

5. We Shine Christ’s Light in Our Community and Beyond

"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." – Matthew 5:16

We exist not just for ourselves, but for the world around us. The church is not a building—it is a people on mission. We are called to serve, love, and proclaim the gospel in our city, our nation, and the world.

What this means:

  • We engage in community outreach, mercy ministries, and missions (James 1:27).

  • We serve as ambassadors for Christ in everyday life (2 Corinthians 5:20).

  • We partner with local and global ministries to bring the gospel to those who need it most (Romans 10:14-15).

Living Out These Values

We believe these values are not just words on a page—they are the heartbeat of Living Water Church. As we move forward, we remain committed to standing firm in truth, boldly proclaiming the gospel, equipping believers, making disciples, and shining Christ’s light wherever He leads us.

"If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." – James 4:15

For the Glory of God Alone.
