Equipping followers of Jesus to live, love, and serve faithfully.
Key Areas
Equipping at The Well focuses on equipping followers of Jesus in four key areas:
Gospel Story - The BibleA big, beautiful story of who God is, the true nature of reality, and the ultimate hope for every person, everywhere. |
Gospel Belief -TheologyTrue worship and faithful living require us to know who God is, what he is up to, and who we are called to be. |
Gospel Formation - TransformationAs we grow closer to Jesus we becomre more like him. Gospel formation is the process of being shaped into the likeness of Jesus so that we can become a people who love, live, and serve faithfully. |
Gospel Living - RhythmsIn Gospel Living, we learn to love God and others through the practices and rhythms of the Christian life: spiritual disciplines, biblical community, evangelism, and loving our neighbors. |

Classes
Covenant Partnership
At The Well, we practice Covenant Partnership. Similar to membership in other churches, Partnership is a way for us to make clear that this is our church home, but it is also more. Partnering with The Well is a commitment to belonging, growing, serving, and giving as a part of our church family. The class content is offered through online videos and is completed by attending a Covenant Partnership lunch and signing the Partnership Covenant.
Next Partnership Lunch: September 24th after 3rd service
Covenant Partnership Videos: Coming Soon

The Equipping Program
The Equipping Program is an 8-month discipleship immersion program, where we dive deep into story, belief, formation, and living by going through the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. We go through the Old Testament in the fall, then the New Testament in the spring. The purpose of this program is to enter into the story that God has been unfolding since the beginning of time, and to equip us to walk with others in that story.
Equipping Program will be open again in Fall of 2024
