The Well Community Map
Near the exit of the building there is a map of the area hanging on the wall. The purpose of this is to help us get to know one another and be more connected as a community. If you consider yourself part of The Well, please feel free to add your name and info to the map on your next visit.

Phil Wood Sabbatical
Phil Wood, our awesome worship leader, pastor/elder, will be taking a sabbatical this summer during June, July and August. He’s been serving for 10 years and we figured it was time he got a break. He’ll be taking the time to visit other churches, write music and refresh. Please pray for him during this time.
