Worship- as real as I've ever experienced. Message- God centered, straight from the Bible, with no typical watered down or altered churchy junk attached. A place for un-perfect people who want to experience God's love shown through His people and works. Hi energy, alive, growing , evolving, transforming. Not a single word to describe this gathering of people. Every walk of life, every bondage, every issue is dealt with right here. God is in this place in a major way. If you want a normal church with the usual traditions and feel good messages that bring you the same place on monday, unchanged, this place isn't for you. Perfect ppl not allowed. I fit right in here. read more

I live in Texas and had an opportunity to visit Water's Edge a couple of weeks ago. I was invited to attend by my daughter and her two roommates. I had an awesome experience. The music was so uplifting and just made you want to sing along. The sermon was so amazing....hit right at home. I will be moving back to Lake Charles within a few months and can't wait to attend again. Know that I was very impressed with the church and felt the love of God in the air. "Surely the Presence of the Lord is in this Place" (song....so appropriate for my visit) read more

The Water's Edge Gathering Church is something of a unique experience among churches I have interacted with in the past. This church definitely seems to be directed toward people who wouldn't go to a traditional type church. The music is modern and very well done, coffee and drinks are available and everyone seems to be genuinely glad to see you, lol. If you are looking for a place that has some freshness to it as well as a little Edge, then this is the place to check out. Give it a look! read more

What an awesome time of worship and experiencing the Lord! And this from a recovering pastor of over 15 years! Thanks for showing that God can work through even the worst of bondages....religious bondage and set us free to just be the people He has called us to be. I knew the second I heard Linkin Park in the worship set that this is the church for me! My eyes were never dry the whole service! Thanks for being used to reach those who really don't fit anywhere else! read more

This is the best church I have ever been a part of. They have amazing musical talent that will knock your socks off each week. There are 3 service times which come in handy if you don't like to wake up too too early on the weekends. They are always friendly and welcoming at the door. There is free coffee and food at the services to snack on. Tony's messages are always rel event and down to earth - but also convicting. A great place to check out! read more

I LOVE this church! It is down-to-earth and honest. Tony brings it every Sunday with no sugar coating! More than saying "everyone is welcome", they make everyone FEEL welcome. I really can't say enough good things about this church and its love for the community. If you're looking for a place to get plugged in and in touch with God, don't pass up a chance to visit and see what I'm talking about! read more

I have experienced several "religions" and entirely too many religious people in my life. Nothing I have ever experienced is close to the true meaning of Christianity as these people, their faith and their compassion. GOD has an a great army here. Come and be blessed... read more

It's truly amazing to watch God at work here! A bunch of imperfect people on the road to discipleship. No perfect people allowed. Oh yeah!! Did I mention that the band Rocks!! read more

A great place for old (over 50) rockers who want a place to connect but have tired of the BS that older churches seem mired in.

One word," Real". I love the Waters Edge. The motto, Love God, love people, love tue city, that's exactly what they do!

Wonderful place! I recommend this church to anyone seeking the truth! God says you will know by the fruits they !
