What happens at Living Water Fellowship is guided by Pastor John Guilfoyle in consultation with the Executive and the Steering Team.
Worship and administration is supported by the Administrative Assistant Sue Wiencke.
While some members have offered to serve in leadership roles, the participation of all members is encouraged and welcomed in all aspects of worship, ministry and decision making.
Pastor: John Guilfoyle
John Guilfoyle has been a pastor for just over 26 years… 11 of those here in Wagga Wagga.
He grew up in Texas & still sounds like it… just listen to our video introduction.
John & his wife Leonie have three daughters and a vision for Christ’s work in Australia as expansive as the Australian outback. His two favourite Bible verses are: Ephesians 1:4 and Acts 20:24.
John would really like to have a chance to meet you and discover with you how the love of Jesus can transform your life.
