1 — ABOUT US
Who We Are
Living Water Bible Church is a small, Bible-teaching church in Portland, Texas. Rooted in grace-centered message of salvation, we are passionate about the clear and uncompromised teaching of God's Word. We believe eternal life is a free gift — and that Christ's finished work on the cross is sufficient for everyone who believes.
Our mission is to glorify God by making disciples through the faithful teaching of His Word, equipping every believer to walk in grace and serve the body of Christ.

What Makes Us Different
Grace-Centered Teaching
We hold firmly to the grace-centered message of salvation — eternal life is a free gift received by faith alone in Christ alone, with no strings attached.
Verse-by-Verse Preaching
We teach through books of the Bible systematically, letting Scripture speak for itself rather than picking and choosing topics.
Small on Purpose
We're not trying to be the biggest church in town. We value genuine relationships, real accountability, and knowing each other by name.
Everyone Serves
Ministry isn't reserved for the pastor. Every believer is gifted and called to contribute to the body of Christ.
