About Us
A vibrant New Testament church, offering God’s Word in demonstration of power. Purposed to reach families in the Anderson area, to heal, restore, and train for the fulfillment of their God-given destiny.
Living Water Church operates as a Five Fold Ministry. When Christ ascended, He took His whole ministry mantle, divided it, and gave it in five parts to men and women. All five are needed to perfect, mature, and equip the saints “till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of…the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13). The function of these gifts, also sometimes called equipping or ascension gifts, and how they fit together, can better be understood through the analogy of how a physical hand functions.
