Who We Are
Pastors Waymond and Camille Burton arrived in Greenville, South Carolina in 1998 eager to follow the Lord's instruction to "take the water of life to Greenville." They were sent out to establish a ministry that would be faithful to that command. The first service was held on Sunday, October 4, 1998, with 15 people in attedance, mostly family and friends there for support. God has been faithful as we have pursued His vision.
