Servant Ministers play a vital role in supporting and strengthening the ministries of Living Water Community Church. Working closely with the Elders, they help lead and build up their specific areas by offering hands-on support, guidance, and encouragement. Their responsibilities include recruiting volunteers, implementing ministry activities, and stewarding their resources within the approved church budget. This role is rooted in a heart of voluntary, love-driven service—dedicated to blessing others and furthering the mission of the church.
