Leadership

The Well is led by a Ministry Leadership Team (MLT). This team is made up of Pastors/Elders, Community Leaders, and Mission Leaders. We value a team-led model which reflects our belief that personal accountability and shared responsibility lead to a balanced leadership and focused mission. Our goal is to be a team of people who are led by the Spirit of God and represent our entire community. The Ministry Leadership Team is a diverse group of people, gifted for leadership, passionate about being servants, and excited about leading in the model presented in Ephesians 4.

Pastors

At The Well, our pastors serve as our church elders, and are appointed for indefinite terms of service. Our mission, as a church, is to be a community formed by Christ, exemplifying His message through the way we live. This is one reason why each of our pastors serves in a bi-vocational role. We believe that God calls us to live just as Christ lived; interactive with the world around us.
