Living Water Ministries is a non-denominational church and 501(c)(3) nonprofit based at 1407 Ohio Avenue in Lynn Haven, Florida. We're organized around a simple mission: to serve God, empower people, and strengthen the body of Christ — both inside our doors and out in the community we call home.
Everything we do, from Sunday worship to the ways we show up for our neighbors, flows from the same source: the living water Christ offers freely to anyone who thirsts.
“Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4:14, NIV
Serve God. Empower People. Strengthen the Body of Christ. A church home on the Gulf Coast rooted in Scripture and poured out for our neighbors.
Evangelize, Disciple, Empower and Advance the Kingdom.
Four words shape how we treat one another, welcome newcomers, and serve our city — on Sunday and every day between.
We lead by serving, not by status — putting others' needs ahead of our own.
We offer our best effort to God and to each other, in ministry big and small.
We extend the same grace and mercy we've received, without condition.
We pursue God and His people wholeheartedly, not half-way.
Meet the pastors and staff who lead, teach, and serve alongside our church family every week.
