Living Water Worship Center started in the heart of Pastor Jeff in September of 2000. He shared the vision God placed in his heart with his family and a few friends on a Wednesday evening while sitting in the house of Mr and Mrs. Robert Bolanger. The Burke’s, Bolanger’s, and a few other families met there for 6 weeks before deciding to move the church to Pastor Jeff’s basement. The official first service that Living Water Worship Center met together as an organized body of believers was on November 26, 2000 with nearly 70 people in attendance. After 2 weeks in the Burke’s basement, we had already outgrown that area and God opened the next door by allowing us to rent a store-front building that we moved into on December 2, 2000.

We outgrew that location, but once again God seen fit to open a door in the same shopping plaza for us to have space in another unit for Sunday School and Children’s Ministries. In December 2001, we were able to procure 2 more retail spaces in the same plaza that allowed us to double the size of our sactuary and create adequate office space.

As God continued to bless and we continued to grow, we needed to start investigating our options for expansion – we prefered purchasing some property with additional land for potential growth. In June of 2002, we started to seriously seek a new facility. We appointed a vision team that searched for land, buildings, churches, schools – anything for sale! On October 1st, 2002, the Lord saw fit to allow us to purchase a church building sitting on 5 acres of land in Bellbrook, Ohio. Our first service in the new facility was on October 13, 2002. This bigger building and extended green space has enabled the ministries of LWWC to flourish as we open the doors to families and individuals in Bellbrook and the surrounding communities. All praise, honor, glory and power to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We look forward to seeing what plans He has for us!
