Current SeriesCommencement: Wisdom for What's NextCommencement: Wisdom for What’s Next is a four-week sermon series about discovering new beginnings even in difficult seasons.
Graduation season reminds us that life is always unfolding, and God still meets us in moments of transition, reinvention, and uncertainty. Together, we’ll explore how biblical wisdom helps us move forward with courage, hope, and resilience—even in stressful times. Commencement is also for anyone rethinking or rebuilding their faith. If you are deconstructing, asking deeper questions, or searching for a more honest and mature spirituality, Commencement offers space to begin again. God is not afraid of our questions, and sometimes faith is not falling apart—it is growing into something deeper, wiser, and more authentic. Beginning May 17, join us for a new series, Commencement: Wisdom for What's Next. |

Pastor Ryan's Sabbatical and Guest Pastor Stan MitchellIt is customary after every 5-7 years of service for pastors to take a short sabbatical for rest and renewal. The purpose of a sabbatical is to prevent burnout and to spiritually renew and refocus.
Pastor Ryan will be taking a pastoral sabbatical for three months this summer, to concentrate on renewal and doing a bit of writing. The great news is that while Ryan is on sabbatical, his fill-in for pastoral duties will be Stan Mitchell! Stan is a much-loved speaker, advocate for inclusion, and a friend of The Well who is based in Nashville. Ryan asked Stan to fill in for him because he is a talented speaker and leader, and because many at The Well already know and love Stan. Stan will give weekly sermons and assume pastoral duties at The Well from June 14 - September 6. Then Ryan will be back right after Labor Day. |

WelcomeWelcome to The Well.
If you're looking for a church where thinking, compassionate people can find a spiritual home and cultivate a Jesus-inspired life... You are welcome here, and so are your questions and doubts. You don't have to check your brain at the door, because if God created you with a brain, then it's okay to use it in church. The Bible and science are not enemies, and The Well is an open and affirming church, because we believe in interpreting the Bible wisely. And, ultimately, following Jesus is about how you live and love. The Well is a place to express both your faith and your doubts, so you can grow to become your best self, and partner with God to make a difference with your life. An example of what we mean by that was captured in articles about The Well in the East Valley Tribune and the SanTan Sun News. If that sounds like the kind of community you're interested in, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday! Ryan Gear Lead Pastor |
