Please consider giving toward our Monthly Budget, Building project, and Community Helps Fund as we pour out our gifts and resources together to expand Jesus’ Kingdom locally.

Become a Kingdom Investor

Invest in what God is doing in and around Medford, Oregon through Living Waters.

We want to be able to talk freely with you about budget, needs, and opportunities to give. To do that well, I need a “clear conscience” if you will — an understanding with you that when we ask you to give, we’re not asking as God’s “tax collector” – we’re asking as leaders in this church, who are stewarding a local work that God is doing in and around Medford, Oregon. 

  • Living Waters has no God sanctioned demand or right to anything God has entrusted to you. In light of this, it becomes clear that we do not have, and will not use a religious trump card to guilt or coerce you into giving. 
  • Instead, we will invite you to give or rather invest freely.  We want you to be a ‘Kingdom Investor’. 

We’re not asking you to give, we’re asking you to invest.

In what God is doing here. In the health of marriages and families around you. In new believers who are being raised up. In people being equipped and empowered in Christ, and in our facility being a place that represents safety, hope and the love of Jesus to our city.

Ultimately, we want your partnership – We don’t want people who give out of religious obligation and go home, but people who live in supernatural generosity wherever they go, and who are invested in what God is doing through Living Waters throughout our valley. 

Your place in this matters, and your financial partnership means so much to us, regardless of size. $5 a month? 

Remember, the New Testament speaks to you as one who has the spiritual maturity to figure out on his or her own how much to give. Inquiring of God and figuring the amount for yourself is giving according to New Testament principle. The fact that we can keep it all to ourselves makes it more powerful to give it away!

We believe that teaching people to STEWARD FREEDOM rather than trying to CONTROL THEIR FREEDOM is a far more effective to build them up in Christ.

We will always be drawn to rules, because rules take us off the hook of rejecting passivity and taking responsibility for ourselves. But falling into religious patterns often limits our strength and growth.
