Watershed Weekend: At Water's Edge
April 8–11, 2027 | The Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa | Point Clear, Alabama
Some invitations change more than your calendar. They change your perspective.
Watershed Weekend is one of those invitations.
Each year, a small community of faithful partners gathers to celebrate what God is doing through safe water, the local Church, and the lives being transformed around the world. It’s a time to reconnect with the mission, encourage one another, and be reminded that every act of faithfulness becomes part of a much bigger story.
This year, we invite you to join us At Water’s Edge.

From April 8–11, 2027, join President Mike Mantel, CEO Jonathan Wiles, Living Water leadership, and fellow faithful partners at The Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa in Point Clear, Alabama, for an intimate weekend of worship, stories from the field, meaningful conversation, and genuine fellowship.
Our time together is intentionally designed to create space for both inspiration and renewal. Each morning and evening, we’ll gather for engaging sessions, worship, and firsthand stories of how God is transforming lives around the world. Afternoons are yours to enjoy—whether that means relaxing by the bay, playing a round of golf, unwinding at the spa, connecting with fellow partners, or exploring the charming Southern towns that line the shores of Mobile Bay.
Whether you’ve attended Watershed for years or will be joining us for the first time, our hope is simple: that you’ll leave encouraged by what God is doing today, inspired by what’s possible tomorrow, and reminded that your partnership is helping bring lasting transformation to communities around the world.
Because Watershed has always been more than a weekend.
It’s where vision becomes personal.
We can’t wait to share this weekend with you!
Watershed Weekend is intentionally designed to be an intimate gathering, and space is limited each year.
