Missions & Outreach Ministry

To Make Disciples
OF ALL NATIONS

Facebook iconInstagram iconYouTube icon

Our Mission

At The Well, we are committed to obeying Christ's call to make disciples of all nations. Our vision for missions goes beyond just sending teams overseas—we actively support church planting, disciple-making efforts, and kingdom work in the least-reached areas of the world.

Why Missions?

In Matthew 28:18-20, before ascending to heaven, Jesus gave His disciples one simple command: make disciples of all nations. This command wasn’t just for a select few; it’s for the whole church, for every believer. While missions may seem like a specialized calling, it's actually the central mission of the church.

Outreach Ministry

Local Outreach

Our Local Outreach ministry serves as the hands and feet of the church, meeting people where they are and demonstrating the love of Jesus. We desire to actively engage with the neighborhoods and communities around us. Throughout the year, we have opportunities to serve in various ways, such as:

  • Community events
  • Assisting with moves
  • Serving food
  • Distributing water
  • Repairing fences or mowing lawns
  • Offering a listening ear

🎁 Operation Christmas Child

Share the love of Christ with a child in need through Operation Christmas Child! Fill a shoebox with toys, school supplies, and personal care items to bless a child around the world with a tangible expression of God's love. For many children, this will be the first gift they've ever received.Stop by the table in the lobby to pick up a shoebox and packing instructions. Filled shoeboxes can be returned at any service October 31–November 22. Together, let's bring joy, hope, and the message of the Gospel to children around the world.

Men on Mission

“Serving the Body. Reflecting Christ.”

A cooperative ministry of The Well's Men’s Ministry and In-Reach, Men on Mission exists to serve our church family through practical acts of love and service.
‍
We’re a team of men committed to using our God-given skills—whether with tools, trucks, tech, or time—to meet the needs of the elderly, sick, widowed, and financially burdened in our body.

What We Do:
We jump in wherever there's a need, including:

  • Yardwork & Landscaping
  • Automotive Repairs
  • Construction & Handy Work
  • IT & Computer Help
  • Moving Assistance
  • Furniture Assembly
  • Basic Home Repairs
  • And more…

How It Works:
You tell us what you’re good at. When a need arises, we’ll reach out. If you’re available, awesome. If not—no pressure.

Example?
“I’ve got a truck and trailer and experience in carpentry. I enjoy helping when I can.”
‍
That’s all it takes.

Ready to jump in?

Let’s build something that matters—together.

International MISSIONS

God’s heart has always been for the nations—from Genesis to Revelation, He has revealed His desire for all people to know Him (see Genesis 22:15, Matthew 24:14, Revelation 7:9). Missions isn’t just about going far away, but also about reaching those near to us. We don’t see missions as an “either-or” approach (local OR global); rather, it’s about “here AND there”—doing both with intentionality.
