About Us
“Church should be more than an early 2000’s rock concert followed by a spiritualized TED talk.”
It’s no secret that a growing number of people, disenchanted or exhausted by the growth of entertainment-driven religious experiences, still seek a connection with God and with others—not a franchised copy-and-paste service.
Water City Church began in 2007, not from a church split or as one more multi-campus, but as a brand new Jesus community in the heart of Oshkosh. The church has always been a gathering for seekers, believers, and those uncertain about their spiritual path, fostering a supportive environment for exploration and discovery. At Water City Church, we believe that genuine connection with God and others transcends mere spectacle or motivational talks—it’s about genuine engagement, sincere inquiry, and a commitment to personal and communal growth.
Our Roots
From day one, as an Assemblies of God church plant, Water City has been a different kind of church—one that values authenticity and process over image. It is a church where not everyone votes the same or is from the same side of the tracks. It is a church where right living is intertwined with right believing. It is a community of seekers and believers and “not sure about any of this’ ers.”
Our Mission
Helping people FIND and FOLLOW Jesus.
Our Message
The good news of Jesus still changes lives
Our Model
Simple is significant
“I wish I had more time-consuming responsibilities,” said no one ever. A chaotic activity calendar does not produce a cultivated spiritual life.
Less really can be more; that’s the heart of being a “simple church.”
