About Us

 Jessica and Nick Charney

My name is Jessica Charney and I am the Pastor of Youth and Family Ministries here at Living Water Church. My husband Nick and I love Living Water and are so thrilled to call this church our home.

Nick and I both grew up in Elk Grove. We went to Laguna Creek High School, where we had mutual friends who introduced us at the end of my senior year. We both attended Azusa Pacific University and were married shortly after graduating in 2007. Not long after we got married, I felt called to go to seminary. I attended Azusa Pacific Seminary beginning in the fall of 2008, graduated with my Masters of Divinity in May 2011 and began serving at Living Water in July of 2011.

Nick is currently a Middle School Special Ed teacher at Toby Johnson Middle School and coaches soccer for FC Elk Grove. In May 2013 we welcomed out first child, Kacie Lynne Charney and became a family of three!
