What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of The Well Community Church based on the foundational truth God communicates to us through His Word, the Holy Bible.

Jesus Christ is the son of God, the father, sent to earth to die for the sins of all and who sent the Holy Spirit to reside with his children which remains to this very day.  The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all expressions of one singular God who has been revealed to mankind at times known only to the Father.

Salvation is found through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God’s son, on the cross and is perfected through his corporal resurrection.  Though there are many theological concepts to understand salvation through Christ, we believe that our unity is found in our common thanksgiving to an infinitely loving and gracious Lord who saved us despite ourselves.

The Church believes that the scriptures are the inerrant and divine Word of God recorded and transcribed through direct instruction or inspiration to the prophets, disciples, and saints.  The Church believes that all scripture is useful for education and growth (2 Timothy 3:16).

Tradition encourages believers to act and conduct themselves as Christ conducted himself which includes baptism through submersion at an age when an earnest, objective, and unadulterated commitment can be made to a life transformed by God.  Baptism is the obligation of every believer symbolically as it was an ordinance of Christ to the disciples (Matthew 28:19).

Marriage is a construct honored with reverence to God’s determination that “It is not good for man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18) preceding the creation of Eve, the first woman.  In strict observance with this scriptural principle, we believe marriage is honored between a man and a woman committed to one another through their faith and willingness to affirm their oaths of fidelity before God and their peers.

It is the responsibility of the Church to encourage stewardship as a ministry and a mission at the individual and corporate levels.  The Church has an obligation to encourage and grow a spirit of thanksgiving and an atmosphere of ministerial growth through their financial and physical assets.

Every Christian should live in peace with their brothers and sisters, not insisting on pursuing their own ideals of justice but leaving room for God to work in our lives and the lives of those around us (Romans 12:18).  If a conflict arises between two individuals, they should resolve the conflict in accordance with the scriptures (Matthew 18:15-17).  Conflict should never be the proclivity of any Christian, but instead all should desire reconciliation and peace with their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
