COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

 The Living Waters ministry is focused not only on loving on our CEBC church members but also those in our community.

Ephesians 4:2 - Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

We strongly encourage and embrace partnerships with Christian organizations in and around San Diego to strengthen and stretch our limited resources to reach those most in need.
