Welcome home.
Whether you've been in church your whole life or never stepped through the doors, there's a seat saved for you.
A small church with deep roots.
Stuart Church of Living Water is an independent congregation in the Methodist tradition, meeting in a historic brick chapel in Stuart, Virginia.
We're a small church — more like a family. Everyone knows each other, looks out for each other, and shows up when it matters.
We may not be the most tech-savvy, but we love big and we mean it.
What we believe.
Pastor Thomas B. Shepherd
Pastor Tommy has served Stuart Church of Living Water as Senior Pastor for years. He preaches directly from Scripture, with a heart for both lifelong believers and folks just starting to ask questions.
He's available outside of Sunday mornings too — for prayer, for questions, or just to talk.

Wherever you are in your walk, there's a way to plug in and grow alongside people who'll know your name.

Need Prayer?
Whether you're walking through something hard, celebrating something good, or just want to be lifted up before God, we'd love to pray with you.
Pastor Tom reads every request that comes in, and our church family prays over every name. No request is too big, too small, or too quiet — we're here.
If you only knew the gift God has for you… you would ask me, and I would give you living water.
John 4:10 NLT
