“… the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
Galatians 5:6
Our Story
The Well is a growing Wesleyan Methodist Church in Christchurch, named for the story of Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4.
In this story Jesus meets a woman at a well in Samaria. She's alone, at midday, with a complicated past, and she's someone many people had written off. Jesus treats her with respect and honesty, and offers her something that satisfies far more deeply than water. Her life changes, and she goes and tells her neighbours. Many of them come to meet Jesus for themselves.
That’s the story we want to live out.
By naming the church The Well, we acknowledge we are not the Living Water but serve as a guide to point people toward Jesus, the true Living Water.
Big things happen when you encounter God and you’re awakened to experience and express the depth of His love; this is the mission of The Well. As this occurs, we believe we’ll see our city transformed through a community devoted to loving God and loving others.
