Getting Connected

Getting Connected
Connecting to Jesus Christ
  • Acknowledge that you are sinful and need God’s unmerited, unending forgiveness (Romans 3:23).
  • Believe that Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection was sufficient payment to provide forgiveness for your sin (Romans 10:9,10).
  • Confess that Jesus Christ is the leader of your life (Romans 10:9,10).

It’s the last component that makes following Jesus a challenging task. When Jesus is the leader of your life, it means submitting to God’s will, not your own. However, when you commit your life His leadership and forgiveness, Jesus said that you are not alone. He will be with you through the power of His spirit.

 
Connect To Each Other
Christ called us to love one another and be devoted to one another just as He loved us. His gospel commands us to live our lives in such a way that our love for one another becomes a living witness of our faith in Him and demonstrates God's glory to the culture around us (our neighborhoods, circle of friends, co-workers, families, etc.).

At The Well, we recognize that this is a lifestyle that goes beyond a weekly service. We desire to live out Christ- centered community that is authentic, encompassing every facet of our lives. We see our lives as missional, whether it is our vocations, our passions, or our pasttimes. But, how can we live out Christ-centered, God glorifying community if we confine our Christian experience to a 75 minute service one time per week? We think it's impossible.

Therefore, for us, Church is not a weekly service, but a life-style. At The Well, our LIFE groups provide the context for every member to grow in a shared and missional life in Christ. Through small groups (LIFE Groups) in this community, each member becomes a vital part of our growing Christ-centered community.

We have purposely not created a set of predetermined programs for people to mold their lives around, but instead equip people to live out the mission of the gospel in the context of a shared life in Christ. Our LIFE groups are where this happens. They are where we:

  1. Develop community,
  2. Demonstrate God's love, and
  3. Serve others.

We study the scriptures together, pray together, disciple one another, bear one another's burdens -- all in and through Christ. And through these groups, we do mission throughout the Cartersville area, proclaiming the gospel and reaching to those hurting in our city. For all of these reasons, if you are a member of The Well, it is vital that you join a LIFE group in order to live the life that God intended for you to live.

Connect to the Community

Here at The Well we believe that to have the heart of Jesus is to have the heart of a servant. This is what fuels our desire to have a positive influence not only to our church body, but to the community as well. We are committed to showing those around us the love that Christ has for each of us. We accomplish this in many ways. From festivals for fun, to forums that are designed to strengthen individuals and families, to acts of kindness toward the community that enables us to share God’s love, we are committed to reaching all people with the love that is Christ Jesus.

“If you give a person a cup of water in my name, you’ve given it to me.” Jesus said this and many statements like it to help us understand that real faith is acted out in genuine love for others. If you would like to know how to get involved in some of our upcoming community events, click here.
