Missions Statement

Concerning missions, it is of the greatest importance that we feel about a lost and dying world the way God does. We will be held accountable for what we have done with Jesus.

It is our desire to be the Lord's hand extended. Living Waters supports twenty-nine missions. This includes support for missionaries, pastors in foreign lands, food for the hungry, and supply to those in need. We also have built churches, orphanages, and other special projects in the foreign field. The missions have spanned more than forty countries in the lat several years.

It has always been our prayer that God would put us together with people of like precious faith throughout the world. The Lord has blessed us with many such people that take what they receive and share their blessings with others. We not only support, but we are also involved in our missions, visiting them as often as we can and allowing opportunities for members to see firsthand where their giving has gone. Mission reports are given the first Sunday of each month and reported in our quarterly magazine, "Rivers of Living Water".

Tenets Of Faith

This We Believe:

*The Holy Scriptures are the inspired, infallible, Word of God, and the revealed will of God.

*The trinity of the Godhead; the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are all co-equal, and in Jesus Christ all the fullness of the Godhead dwells.

*The enemy of our soul is Satan and the reality that he does exist.

*Man was created in the image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin entered the world. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

*The only atonement for man's sin is by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

*Salvation comes by repentance and believing with your heart and confessing with your mouth, Jesus is Lord. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, not by human works. It is by grace we are saved.

*Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, and was God manifest in the flesh.

*The new birth is a new creation from above, the direct operation of the Word of God and the Spirit of God upon the believer's life, changing their spirit completely.

*Baptism in water is an act of obedience and a statement to the world that the believer has died with Christ and has been raised with Him in the newness of life.

*The baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues is a free gift for all believers. The Holy Ghost empowers the believer and bestows the gifts of the Spirit and in understanding, and the gift of prophecy.

*Living in divine health; healing and salvation go together. They were both paid for at Calvary by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

*Prayer for the sick, by anointing them with oil and the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise them up.

*The church (the body of Christ) is not separated by denomination, but is composed of all blood-washed believers.

*Marriage is defined as God's established union between a man and a woman.

*Christ's teaching concerning spiritual grounds for divorce.

*Loyalty and obedience to those in authority over us in the Lord.
