Twenty-five years ago, Chad Halbach became one of the first members of his family to join Christ. Since then, Chad, his wife Marsha, and their six kids have witnessed the transformational power of Christ in their home and in the lives of their extended family. Chad’s passion is to minister to families like his own who have little or nothing to do with the church. He wants to bring to them the same transformational message that first gripped his heart so many years ago.

  Adam was called to White Water Ministries to help guide people into honest and uninhibited worship, and to help change the spiritual climate in Laramie.
"Part of my mission as Creative Art's Pastor will be to help the people of Laramie understand that "worship" does not just pertain to singing a few feel good songs on Sunday morning, but that it is a life style that needs to be lived out every hour of every day."

 A little over four years ago, while on a mission trip to an orphanage in Mexico, Matt heard God’s calling for his life.  Matt decided to obey God and enrolled at Summit Christian College, and study to be a children’s minister. Since then, Matt has worked at various church in various roles within the children’s departments of those churches. Matt’s desire for the children of White Water and in Laramie is for them to discover that, they can be useful and effective workers in God’s Kingdom.

  FAVORITE QUOTES:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
...Marianne Williamson

  THING I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT LARAMIE:
