Why 'The Well'
The Well is named after a story in the bible in John 4. In the story, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well, where he is resting after a long journey. Jesus speaks to the woman about her life, and about who he is and how he can give her living water that will satisfy her thirst. Through this encounter the woman’s life is changed, and she goes back to her town and tells everyone about Jesus. Because of her testimony many come to believe in Jesus.
At The Well, we want to be a place where people can meet with Jesus. Many people are thirsting after meaning in their life, and search for it in things which can only quench their thirst for a short time. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who knows all about us, just as he did the woman in the story. We believe that today, just as then, people can come to know Jesus, who is alive today, and in this relationship satisfy their thirst and find answers to life.
