Living Water Christian School

Living Water Christian School (LWCS) and Living Water Christian Pre-School (LWCPS) is a Christian private school in Rosenberg, Texas for children ages 6 weeks through 12th grade.

Gene and Betty Jo Frank, pastors of Church of Living Waters, founded Living Water Christian School in 1984, following many years of prayer. The school opened on September 2, 1984, at it’s present location. The school began with grades K4 and K5 combined and first and second grades combined, with a faculty consisting of two teachers. Today, the school offers classes for Infant through twelfth grade.[1]

The school emblem consists of a circle, symbolizing God who has no beginning and no end, surrounding a shield which represents the shield of faith, part of the armor of God as stated in Ephesians 6:16. The shield is divided into three parts, representing the triune make-up of man. The lamp symbolizes the soul, composed of the mind, the will and the emotions. The laurel wreath stands for the body, and the dove is the Spirit hovering over the living waters, which are to proceed out of our innermost being. Within the circle are the words “Excellence in Life,” the motto of the school.[1]
