How WaterWay started

WaterWay is an extended ministry of First Christian Church of Bentonville.  WaterWay and First Christian share the same staff, and Don typically preaches very similar messages at all three of our worship services (WaterWay at 9:30am & FCC at 8:15am & 10:45am).  First Christian, located on Hwy 102 directly across from the Bentonville Police Department, was one of the first churches established in Bentonville, and recently celebrated its 140th anniversary.  One of the emphases in our ministry at FCC is reaching out to families in our community to offer them a church community where they can find friendship, rest and restoration.  With the explosive growth being experienced in Northwest Arkansas, FCC decided to launch a "satellite" service in the fall of 2005 to help reach even more families... and WaterWay was born.  WaterWay is still relatively small in size, but we are big on dreams and vision, and we would love for you to join us as we seek to restore a sense of God's peace into the hurried restlestness of so many families today.

The WaterWay Mission
Our Mission at WaterWay is to develop a community of
Refreshment, Renewal and Relationship.
 
We will achieve that Mission by navigating the waters of life together via the follwing four "ships":
(1)  relaxed and relevant services of WORSHIP which speak to the heart & challenge the mind
(2)  an environment of caring DISCIPLESHIP to foster deeper learning about God & Christ -
      including an active Children's Ministry to both care for and teach our kids in a safe place
(3)  an atmosphere of hospitality & FRIENDSHIP that reaches out to people of all backgrounds and
      beliefs, welcoming all who visit us with the hope that they will join us on this journey of faith
(4)  an expectation of whole-life STEWARDSHIP that demands I put my faith into practice by
      committing my time, talents & treasure to some form of ministry, either at WaterWay or elsewhere.
