Senior Pastors Rob and Christie Goyette

Rob and Christie are pastors with a true shepherd's heart, and it is their desire to bring God's people into a relationship with Him that cannont be shaken. They are both longtime residents of Northeast Florida, and began pastoring Living Waters World Outreach Center in 1995. They have asked Christ for the nations, and together they reveal a unique facet of God's glory as they pursue His calling to restore people back to God in spirit, soul, and body. Rob and Christie married in 1995 and have 4 children, one of whom has gone on to be with the Lord.

Associate Pastor Eric and Cheryl Myer

Eric and Cheryl have been with Living Waters since the beginning. Eric took an early retirement from Stone Container in the mid-1990's when he was called of the Lord to full-time service. He has served as associate pastor since 2001 and is instrumental in facilitating the day-to-day operations of Living Waters and Faith Christian Academy.

Pastor Bob Wrenn

Pastor Bob portrays in every sense of the word a true Biblical picture of a pastor. His arms are extended to the congregation and all who visit, and his heart is open to those in need. The example he follows and the example he sets is Jesus, the one true Shepherd. Joane is a spiritual mother, encouraging women of all ages to fulfill their potential in God. Together, they are an effective team both in the church and in the community. Bob and his wife Joane married in 1963 and have 3 children and 6 grandchildren.

Eric & Nannette Snow Youth Pastors

Youth Pastors Eric and Nanette Snow have high levels of energy and love, and lavish our teenagers with both. They met while working for Project SOS (Strengthening our Students), where they gained a personal knowledge of the turbulent world our teens face every day. Their desire is to reveal the value God places on every one of us as they reach out to our youth with hearts of compassion laced with accountability. Eric and Nanette married in 2006 and joined Living Waters in 2007.

John and Barbie Armstrong, Children's Pastors

John and Barbie Armstrong are a stabilizing force in our Children's Ministry, creatively reaching out and bringing them into the saving knowledge of Jesus. Skits that are silly and demonstrations that draw laughter all lead to life lessons that bring home the principles of Christ. Barbie worked for many years in the Nassau County School system and understands the challenges presented to children who have never known the security of a loving family, and the advantages of those who do. John and Barbie continually seek the Lord's guidance on how to ensure children in their care have a firm foundation.

Worship Leader

Senior Pastor Rob Goyette is currently leading worship.

It is said in 1 Tim.3:13 that “They who have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Living Waters' deacons and deaconesses are an extension of our pastoral care team and see to the physical and emotional needs of our congregation. They are servants of servants and continue to demonstrate for us all the true heart of Jesus.

John Armstrong, Deacon

Unassuming and unpretentious, John has a passion for God that shines. He's the first one there and the last to leave, ensuring the business of God is fully attended to. John delivers wise counsel in a funny, smart, and dependable manner, and we appreciate all that he does.

Becky Mertz, Deaconess

Becky Mertz functions in the areas of bereavement support and is a long time board member. She serves with quiet authority and leads by example, crossing generational lines to minister encouragement to young and old alike. Becky is a warrior in the spirit, praying diligently for those in her care. She is strong in the Word, and her life radiates with love and commitment.

Esme Gill, Deaconess

Esme's devotion to the Lord is evident in her worship. She is a servant of servants, and her ministry is one of help and compassion. She's "been there herself", and disciples others with insight that comes from having first-hand knowledge of the spiritual battle we all face. Esme is a student of the Word, and her desire is to communicate God's unfailing love to those in our community. She and her daughter, Rebecca Grace, have been with Living Waters since 2000, and she has been a deaconess since 2005.

Staff

Kathy Keller

Every church needs a good secretary, and Kathy has been ours since 2003. She serves with a level of excellence that reflects her devotion to the Lord, and everyone loves her. Kathy married Eugene in 1969 and they have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.

John and Vicki Cooper

John and Vicki grew up together in Fernandina Beach and married in 1973. John served in the Air Force for the first 20 years of their marriage and when he retired, they moved back home. They have been full time potters for many years, but serving in the ministry of the Lord has captured their hearts and John came on staff as administrative assistant in 2005. Vicki is an intercessor, conference coordinator, and staff writer.
