We encourage women to participate in the activities of the church by utilising the gifts and talents that God has given us. As Women of purpose, we want to excel in all that God has
called us to do, both in the ministry and also in the secular. We equip ourselves by the Word of God, organise/attend conferences, seminars, workshop and walk-through that will equip us for the tasks ahead.

Indeed the injunction from our Lord Jesus Christ himself is that we should go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Gideon's Army
Gideon’s Army is the men’s natural group of LWP. Membership of this group is voluntary and married men who are church members are enrolled by default.
The main aim of the group amongst other worthy causes of the groups is to nurture and groom men to fulfill the mandate of their office as described in the Bible as Priests, Prophets and Providers. In light of this, the spiritual growth, career progression, leadership and maintenance of a united, cohesively healthy and functional family unit remain the utmost priority of the group. It therefore comes as no surprise that the EXCO members have the welfare of members at heart.
Gideon’s Army meets every first Sunday of the month, immediately after the Sunday service

Ushering
Church Ushers constitutes a very vital group of workers. They form the first set of people that others come in contact with, when the come to church.
Their duties are more of a general nature and bother on ensuring the church programmes are organised and conducted in the most orderly manner. Ushers also maintain the church financial record (in conjunction with the finance department).Frequently, ushers seldom stay in one place during church meetings, in a bid to ensure the service are going in an overly manner. They are the workers that can be called upon at any time by both the ministers and other church members for assignment and assistance.
Reception
The reception team "looks after" first time visitors to the church. After Sunday services all guests are very warmly welcomed in a polite and friendly atmosphere. The team provide information on the church weekly programs, upcoming special events.
For guests who decide to become Living Water Parish members, a bi-annual lunch with the Senior Pastors is organised by the team where honest feedback on general church life is encouraged.
