More About Us 

 

 

We are simply a group of people seeking to know more about the “surprising” Jesus. We follow in His footsteps, trying to value what He valued. We don’t claim to know it all and we certainly are not perfect. We feel relationships are vital in this faith experience. Although we long to have a tight community, we always have room for one more to jump in. So come, be our guest. You’ll find a church where there is no dress code; A church where it’s okay to laugh; A place where questions are encouraged; A place that speaks in everyday language.

 

We invite you to take the plunge into Freshwater.
 

About Jesus

 

 

 


What do we mean by the “surprising” Jesus? Consider...

 

His friends were the lonely, the sick, prostitutes, the rough and tumble, uneducated fishermen, the weary and the down- trodden.
His words were powerful. He spoke of kindness, hope, forgiveness, and love. He talked of greatness, satisfaction, peace, and joy.
His actions were a display of love, healing and hope for broken people.
His life not only surprised people, it transformed their lives.

 

Is this Jesus the same today? You might be surprised!

History of Freshwater
Freshwater was born on October 5, 2005.  It's proud parents were about 30 dedicated people known as "The Launch Team".  The team was mobilized by Pastor Troy and a small leadership team over the summer of 2005.  The launch team performed many task including remodeling an old banquet hall and running serveral outreach programs to the community of Paw Paw.
Why the name "Freshwater" for the church?
We think the name speaks to the renewing purpose and relationship Jesus offers each of us.  Jesus offers "fresh water  "...the spring of living water that wells up to eternal life."  (John 4:14)
