Living Water Church of the Nazarene serves the community of Maricopa, Arizona. Our charter was issued in October 2006, although the ministry activities began prior to the organization as an actual church. Over the years we have worked hard to show the love of Jesus Christ to the community we serve. This is a goal that we continue to pursue with the prayer that we can bring joy to a world that desperately needs it!
It is our firm belief that Jesus Christ came so that we can have a relationship, not a religion. We believe that it is possible and that we are called to live a life of personal holiness in honor of the sacrifice that Christ made on our behalf.
In addition to our Sunday Worship Services, our ministries include Children's Church, Real Teens Youth Group, Fluid Motion Puppetry and Drama Team, and more. We strive to meet the needs of our neighbors in Maricopa, including the distribution of emergency food boxes for families in need.
As part of the International Church of the Nazarene, Maricopa Living Water shares in the support of missionaries in more than 155 world areas. We are also active in Compassionate Ministries around the world, which includes child sponsorship, crisis care kits for natural disasters, and providing funds when disaster strikes.
Our current Lead Pastor is Clint Augustyn, along with his wife Carissa and their ten-year-old son. A dog (Gracie) and a cat (Kitty or Oreo Cookie) also call the Augustyn residence their home. Pastor Clint came to us from New Hope Community Church of the Nazarene in Chandler, Arizona where he served as the Associate Pastor. His duties there included the church administration and finance, publications, Bible study, and special events. He has been part of the Living Water Family since being appointed our lead pastor in May 2009 and has lived in the community since July.
We invite you to join us as we journey together in an effort to live a Christ-like life and to share our love for Christ with the community around us. There is a place for you to get involved in making a difference in Maricopa as you reflect Christ to those around you!
