- Steve Bohman
- Percussion/Keyboard
- Steve has enjoyed playing the drums since he was a 7th grader in Minster, Ohio. While pursuing a degree in computer science from The Ohio State University, he played tri-toms in the OSU Marching Band. In 2002, he began praising God with his joyful noise and clanging cymbals in the Music Ministry at Church of the Resurrection.

- Chip Cogswell
- Bass/Keyboard/Vocals
- After decades of playing secular music, Chip Cogswell has opted to "boogie down" with the Lord. Chip and Living Water drummer, Thom met in 7th grade and have been making music together for most of these years. From "Louie, Louie" to "Bless the Lord", there really isn't much musical difference, but the message is what's important now. Chip is owner of First Choice Productions, which creates video and audio for corporate training and communications and in his spare time likes to spin tunes as a mobile DJ for COSI's Camp-In program. He is blessed with a wonderful and supportive wife, Suzan who is Living Water's percussionist/vocalist and two daughters who are marvelous gifts from God.

- Suzan Cogswell
- Vocals/Percussion
- Suzan plays percussion and sings with the group. When she asked a group of friends to get together for lunch one summer day, little did she know that a dream was about to come true - Living Water. She had been a part of musical ensembles supporting liturgies and worship services since junior high school. In college, she was part of the prestigious, Sage Chapel Choir at Cornell University. But the Spirit was always moving her toward something more. One June 17, 2003 this group of friends joined hands to pray for discernment and Living Water was born. Suzan is married to her high school sweetheart, Chip, the band's bass player and they have two beautiful teenage daughters. When not performing with the group, she enjoys writing children's songs and serves as the Director of Research and Statistics for the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Greg says that he is honored to be associated with seven wonderfully talented musicians and great friends that make up Living Water.

- Dana White
- Guitar/Vocals
- "The Grace of God is all around us; sometimes we are prepared, focused, and vulnerable enough to glimpse it like a flicker we notice out of the corner of our eyes." Dana has felt this Grace most often when he plays guitar. Whether he is alone or serving as a music minister, the overwhelming sense of peace and fulfillment reminds him that our talents are gifts offered to us for us to develop and share. After nearly 35 years of learning to play, Dana is still humbled and awed by it. Besides playing guitar, he is an Associate Professor at Otterbein College in the Department of Theatre and Dance and works as a freelance Lighting Designer.

- Sue Wiechart-White
- Keyboard/Vocals
- When Sue Wiechart-White was in the 8th grade, Sr. Ann Marie pointed to the organ and said "Look it's sort of like the piano, and I bet you can figure out those pedal things. Here's the music. Show up for practice on Thursday at 7:00 and for Mass on Sunday at 10:30." Ever since then she's been in music ministry and enjoys the new prayer opportunity that Living Water provides her. Later, Sue met her husband-to-be at musicians practice at St. Thomas More University Parish, Bowling Green, Ohio. Currently, Sue plays piano for the 11:00 Choir and Praise Choir at Church of the Resurrection in New Albany, Ohio, where her husband Dana, and son, David are also in the music ministry. Sue's "day gig" is teaching 7th and 8th grade general music and choir at Bexley Middle School in Bexley, Ohio.

- Thom Wyatt
- Drums/Vocals
- Music has always brought blessings and joy to Thom's life. After he received his degree in music, Thom toured the country for fifteen years as a professional musician. His varied career path led him to his present position as Director of Music for Church of the Resurrection. "I never anticipated a career in the church," Thom says, "but when the Holy Spirit calls, you answer!" His music ministry allows him to work with church members of all ages, including the Cherub Choir for young children, the Children’s Choir for second through sixth graders, the Praise Choir featuring youth and adults, and the Adult Choir. He says that it is association with the talented members of this ministry that led him to Living Water. He says to be able to use his God-given talents with those who share his vision is truly a blessing. "We all share a common goal: to bring God’s word to life in a true and meaningful way."
