Carole Parks 
Council Member 

Carole and her mother were 2 of the original charter members of Living Water Lutheran Church. As lifelong Lutherans they were excited to be a part of a new ministry to share the Lord's word with others. It was such a blessing to grow the church within the community and bring followers to Christ. From the beginning Living Water Lutheran felt like not only a church that was warm and welcoming but a family of like believers that truly supported and loved each other. Being a member of the Living Water "family" is truly one of her greatest blessings!
