Director
Christina Lee
I am Pastor Christina Lee, one of the founding pastors of Living Waters Bible Church starte in Queen Creek 15 years ago with my husband.
I have such a heart for the church and for every person who comes through those doors that they may have an experience with Jesus in such a personal way, believing each person will fulfill their destiny. It is also my heart for each person to know his her gifts to help build the church and to know the Word of God to battle any situation.
Every person that calls upon Christ needs to know who they are in Him and what God has called them to do for Him. We all need each other, for I always say, “It takes a village to run a church.” You are so needed at Living Waters, we will train and equip you to be just that.
Ephesians 4:4-12
In Christ Always, Pastor Christina
