“A Dream doesn’t become reality through magic, it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” – Sam Chand
Every church or organization should have a vision and purpose. The vision states the reason for their existence. At Refreshing Waters, we are a vision-driven ministry. Being vision-driven helps us to focus on why we exist and our assignment for being a church in the location to which we have been called. The Bible encourages us to be visionary in our efforts.
“It takes TEAMWORK to make the DREAM WORK.” – John Maxwell
You are not here by accident. We believe God has a specific plan and a design for your life and our lives together. We call this “Covenant!” We are a people called of God to share in a purpose and fulfill a goal.
The crucial thing to understand is that we need each other to get it done. No one can fulfill the vision alone! So, with confidence we say, YOU ARE HERE, BY GOD’S PLAN!” Yes, we are on assignment together.

Three Aspects of our Partnership
You are called to be here.
Psalms 92:12-15 (NKJV) “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, to declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”
We are truly better together.
Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV) “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up”
This is a fresh start for you.
Mark 2:22 (NIV) “And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins."
