About

Living Water Church of the Nazarene in downtown San Diego's East Village runs a two-track ministry from 1550 Market Street at the corner of 16th, combining Wesleyan-holiness worship with one of the neighborhood's most active food-distribution operations. The congregation delivers groceries to housed residents and assembles street-ready meal bags for unhoused neighbors every Friday, a direct-service model that complements the rights-based advocacy of Human Rights Fellowship Church on 14th Street. A daughter church of Southeast Church of the Nazarene in Spring Valley, Living Water operates under the Southern California District of the Church of the Nazarene and follows the denomination's Wesleyan-holiness theological framework, including weekly communion. The 1550 Market Street facility also hosts rehearsals and organizing meetings for Voices of Our City Choir, a nonprofit ensemble composed of individuals experiencing homelessness that uses the church as its primary practice venue. The Friday distribution pipeline sources from two separate food banks and integrates with the broader East Village safety net of anti-poverty agencies, among them Community Action Partnership. The church's most logistically demanding weekly operation is the Friday distribution itself — a sequence of food-bank pickups, cold-storage sorting, volunteer coordination, and dual-format packaging for walk-up grocery bags and street-ready meal kits.
