New Membership (Coffee & Dessert) Informative
At Living Water Community Church, we see church membership as a significant step in our discipleship to Jesus. As a church, we are deeply committed to the work of spiritual formation that lies at the heart of our discipleship to Jesus and we believe that true and lasting spiritual formation occurs in community. When you become a member of Living Water Community Church, you are making an intentional commitment to our community and our community is making an intentional commitment to you and your formation.
Before becoming a member, we want to get to know you and give you space to get to know us. So, our membership process consists of two simple steps:
1. Participation in one of our New Membership (Coffee & Dessert) Informative
2. A conversation with one of our pastors/elders.
New Membership Coffee & Dessert Informative
Our new member Coffee & Dessert Informative is designed to give you a solid overview of who we are as a church, answer any questions you have, and allow you to get to know our leadership. We would love to have you join us for our next Informative on Monday, November 13, 2023. We meet right at the church at 7 pm.

Conversation with Pastor/Elder
