Gatherings

Why “Gatherings”?

At The Well, we refer to our Sunday services as gatherings because we believe “church” is not primarily a service we attend, but God’s people meeting together to hear His Word, pray, sing, share life, and be sent back into the world. Gatherings remind us church is both who we are and what we participate in together, not something we observe or consume.

Things to Know if You’re Visiting…

  • 1) You Might Be Noticed

    Because The Well is a small, younger church, people will likely notice you’re new. We believe hospitality matters, and our intention is to welcome you warmly. At the same time, no one will corner you, ask you to introduce yourself publicly, or press you into conversation. You are free to engage as much or as little as you’d like.

  • 2) There's No Dress Code

    Our pastors personally prefer to dress in their “Sunday best,” but you’re not required to do so. Whether you choose traditional or casual, your presence matters more than your appearance. Also, we're in South Florida — it’s hot! We encourage you to come dressed appropriately, but comfortably for the climate and weather.

  • 3) We Love Kids

    As a small, younger church, we do not offer a children’s ministry. We do our best to keep families together in our main space and offer a calm area for parents and children when time away from the larger gathering is needed. We understand that children bring movement, noise, and unpredictability. You don’t need to apologize or explain.

  • 4) You Won't Be Here All Day

    Our gathering starts at 9:30am and lasts between 75-90 minutes. You’re welcome to stay after and talk with others gathered or our team. You’re also under no obligation to do so, and can leave anytime you need to. We usually close our gathering space by noon so that our pastors can focus on their family for the afternoon.

What We’ll Do Together

  • An open book with blue outline, a yellow sun, a red background, and a yellow path with an arrow, representing learning and growth.

    Scripture

    Each week, we give sustained attention to Scripture, trusting that God forms people through His Word. This may include public readings as well as regular references to the Bible, in addition to dedicated teaching time. We move carefully and clearly, allowing Scripture to set the agenda rather than using it to support other ideas. We use the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) as our primary translation but often reference other trusted modern translations.

    Worship

    Worship at The Well includes singing, Scripture reading, prayer, testimony, silence, and reflection. Some moments are quiet and attentive; others are marked by joyful praise. We believe worship is about presence before expression. You’re free to participate as you’re able: to sing or to listen, to stand or remain seated. There is no pressure to perform or respond in a particular way. Our aim is not to create an experience, but to make room for God’s presence.

    Prayer

    Prayer is a foundation of the church practiced in our gatherings in simple ways. You may hear collective prayers of gratitude, intercession, and sometimes lament, all spoken without performance. There is also often space for quiet, reflective personal prayer and attentiveness. Outside of Gatherings, the team is regularly praying for people who visit and return to the church.

    Care

    Care in the gathering happens through the “ministry of presence,” not through performance or pressure. We do not single people out, insist they come to the altar, or rush them toward resolution. Instead, we make room for the Holy Spirit’s counseling work among us, remaining attentive to both Him and one another. You won’t be asked to share publicly, and nothing is forced. Both private prayer and invitation to receive prayer from others is often a part of care.

    Communion

    Communion is a regular practice at The Well and, whenever possible, takes place as part of a shared meal. We believe the table slows us down and reminds us that God’s grace is received together, not rushed or performed. Everyone is welcome to join us for dinner and fellowship, including kids. We simply ask that everyone present honor our conviction that Communion is for those who have personally trusted in Christ.

    Giving

    Giving is part of The Well, but it is never expected of anyone. We do not take an offering or highlight giving during gatherings. We see generosity as a response that grows out of belonging and shared responsibility, not something asked of those who are simply exploring. You are welcome to come, participate, and receive without pressure. For those who desire to give, we provide simple ways to do so.
