The Well is interconfessional, building Christian community across various denominations and confessions. We try to be hard at the core and soft at the edges, holding fast to the historic essentials of our faith while encouraging unity in our diversity. We share the core beliefs common to the Christian world.

What we believe about you
You are a masterpiece
uniquely designed by God
to reveal his beauty
to your world
in a way that no one else can
but you’re broken
we all are
disconnected from God
from others
from people we were sent to love
we’re all like that
that’s what’s wrong with the world
it’s sad
but God makes us whole in Christ
he gives us life
through the death of Jesus
and by his Spirit
he re-connects us
to himself
to each other
to know and be known
to love and be loved
in community
as the body of Christ
now we are his hands and his feet
broken people made whole
disconnected people now eternally connected
serving others
as Jesus has served us
and each masterpiece
revealing something unique
about the master
as his kingdom comes
and his will is done
on earth as it is in heaven
