The Well Community Church meets for Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m. at the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club in downtown Bellevue on Seattle’s Eastside. Please arrive early to find parking in the Club’s parking lot and make your way to the main auditorium. Overfill parking is available right across the street at The Downtown Bellevue Park. As you enter the building, our welcoming team will greet you, direct you and answer your questions. Our worship service is approximately 90 minutes.
Here’s a quick overview of the service:
Singing
We begin our time together singing a few songs of praise to God for who He is and all He has done.
Preaching
The singing is followed by the sermon. We are committed to expositional preaching which simply means we teach the Bible. In our sermon series, we generally go through books of the Bible and study verse by verse and section by section.
Responding
After hearing the sermon, we spend time responding to what we have just learned. We respond through prayers of confession and singing followed by communion.
Connecting
After the closing prayer, we have our Connect Lunch. This is a time of connecting with others over lunch.
Family Ministry
Our commitment to the families that come to The Well is to provide care and to minister to each child, helping them find and follow Jesus. We provide a safe and secure environment for every age. Everyone in our family ministries have been interviewed and background-checked, before they come in contact with your children. We ask families to arrive a few minutes early to ensure a smooth check-in and drop-off. For our special needs parents/guardians, please reach out to us at info@thewellcc.org, as our team would love to best prepare and serve your child.
