Jesus’ life and His finished, redemptive work on the cross of Calvary comprise the only source of man’s eternal salvation.
In one God revealed in three persons to men: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible as the inspired Word of God. The Scripture is our final authority for all Christian teaching and practice.
In the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the present-day manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as in the early church.
In the reality of Satan and active spiritual forces of evil, but of their ultimate eternal judgment.
In the triumph of Christ through His death and resurrection.
In Spirit-led worship using contemporary songs to give praise, glory, and reverence to God.
Living Water Church was established in 1972 when our founding pastors, Paul and Joyce Wuthier, opened their home to people of varied backgrounds to study the Bible. It was a “hippies” bible study where everyone was welcome. Soon others had gathered together with them in seeking to know God and to experience His love and forgiveness in a personal way.
In 1991, we purchased our current building in Aurora, CO. This has allowed us to create numerous Sunday School classrooms, a dynamic youth facility, a fellowship hall, as well as a sanctuary with seating for 150 people.
Over the years, the church has grown to include people of diverse ages, races, backgrounds, and economic status. Together, we are growing in unity in our purpose to seek and know God.
In January, 2010, Ken and Amy Urban became the senior pastors at LWC. Amy is Pastor Paul and Joyce’s daughter. The church has continued to thrive under this new leadership. In 2016, Pastor Paul had a heart attack and passed away. A short biography of his life is found under the About Us section.

Paul & Joyce Wuthier, Founding Pastors
Paul and Joyce Wuthier are the founding pastors at Living Water Church. They established the church in 1972 and dedicated their lives to serving God and His people. Paul passed away in December 2016 and Joyce in August 2024. Their son-in-law Ken, and daughter Amy, now pastor the church.
Paul and Joyce Wuthier - A Tribute
Paul and Joyce Wuthier founded Living Water Church in 1972. Without formal religious education, Paul resigned his position at the University of Colorado Medical Center to become a full time pastor. One would have a hard time finding a parenting book or financial success plan which recommends quitting your good paying job with a young family, forgoing health insurance and other amenities for something much less certain. But, Paul and Joyce were people of courage, believing and trusting God.
One of the great passions of Paul and Joyce Wuthier’s lives was the church – not the buildings and chairs, but the people. They hosted a small gathering of people in their home in Denver. Joyce banged away at the piano with some worship songs, followed by Paul who gave a talk about some parable of Jesus – what it meant to him and how Christ had the power to change lives. Some folks came and stayed; others were passing through. A young church was born. Paul and Joyce loved God and Paul and Joyce loved people. They were a servant to both.
In 2009, as a result of an accident, Paul stepped down as head pastor of LWC and served as an adviser and mentor. In so doing, Paul found another passion – a love for the community. Many times he would question a waiter or waitress about their day – how their shift was going, how the business was doing, often followed up with “I’m a retired pastor…. I love to pray for people. Can I pray for you about something?” Business acquaintances became friends. Grocery store clerks heard the Gospel – yet with a gentleness and tenderness of a father’s heart.
Paul and Joyce had a love for Jesus, a love for their family, a love for the church family, while also loving everyone they encountered on the street. They loved well. They lived well. On Dec. 16, 2016, Paul Wuthier left this world. On August 19, 2024, Joyce joined him. Undoubtedly, they both heard the words from Jesus Himself, saying “Welcome home, good and faithful servant.”
