Welcome to the church

We’re Here For You

People are struggling with so much these days and so few are willing to admit it! Do you struggle with dependency? Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Do you long for peace of mind and freedom from the bondage of worry and frustration?

We Want to Help

At Waters Edge, we engage those in need with the love of Jesus! We are excited to help with your material needs whenever possible, but do you want more? We will walk with those in need to help them get one step closer to God and one more step closer towards independence.

Bogan Avery

Hello! My name is Bogan Avery! Life can be very difficult, and can produce multiple issues in a person’s walk. I see to meet people where they are in order to see them begin to come to life! I utilize clinical hypnosis, cognitive behavioral techniques, experiential techniques, in combination with the message of the Gospel to work people through the ruts they find themselves in. I seek to live a life in which God works through me to the betterment of people, and to see a healthy connected community flourish so that we call can give thanks to God!

WE believe in prayer

Let Us Pray With You

We want you to encounter God through prayer and find the fullness you were made for. Have you asked him to reveal himself to you? Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).


At Waters Edge, we believe in the power of prayer and we would like to pray with you and for you. God invites the followers of Christ to boldly approach Him with their praises, thoughts, needs, hurts, hopes and requests. Let us serve you through prayer; contact us today!
