Well Women

“The Well” is a multi-generational women’s ministry created to help women step away from the noise and busyness of life to gather in the presence of Jesus.

Like the women who met at wells throughout Scripture, we come thirsty for connection, wisdom, truth, and Living Water. We believe spiritual growth happens through authentic community, prayer, worship, discipleship, and sharing life together across generations.

Our desire is to create space where women are refreshed, rested in God’s Word, led by the Holy Spirit, and equipped to pour into the next generation with faith, wisdom, and grace.

The group will host monthly gatherings.

The Central Book Club meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, except for the months of July and December.
