FOUNDERS
In May of 2010, Pastor Simon and Co-Pastor Cheryl Collier started the Ministry after a month of being without a church home. The name “Living Water Ministry” was founded based on the Scripture (John 7:38) “He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” The motto was “Come and be Refreshed by God’s Living Water.”
The Ministry began on the 1st Sunday in June of 2010 with Sunday School, Prayer Meeting, and Tuesday Night Bible Study in their home with their three children. On the 1st Sunday in July of 2010, Sunday Morning Worship Service began. Three other people joined them for House Church.
They began Outreach Ministry at Joe Pritchard Homes, Canton Estates, and Canton Family Units during the summer months. They picked up people for Bible Study, Sunday School, and Sunday Service. The Word of God was taught and preached. The Holy Ghost would move on the people and they would get saved, healed, delivered, set free right in the living room. Some were baptized in Jesus’ name outside the house in an aluminum cattle trough on the driveway,
People would come and go, but God would always send a replacement. God would periodically send someone to fellowship and encourage them in the Lord. God told them “be faithful and do what I’ve called you to do.” He told them “despise not small beginnings," and "if you be faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many.” God has been faithful.
The second location, 628 E. Center Street in Canton was transformed from an old pizza restaurant/office into a church in September of 2012. In the spring of 2017, Sunday Service was held temporarily in a community room at an apartment complex. Living Water Ministry was built in 2018 located at 1765 Hwy 22, Canton, MS.
