What is the significance of the name “Women at the Well”?
Just as Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well and offered her a life-changing encounter, we recognize that we have all been in her shoes—seeking comfort and hope while carrying our shame. Even in those moments, Jesus chose to seek us out, extending His love and grace. At Women at the Well, we aim to create a space where women can experience spiritual nourishment, healing, and connection. Our gatherings serve as a wellspring of support for those seeking fulfillment in their faith journeys, reminding us that we are never alone.
Why is Women at The Well not directly affiliated with a church?
While we are not affiliated with a specific church, our mission is to serve as a bridge, guiding women toward finding a home church through our Faithful Connections Bridge initiative. This approach allows us to foster an inclusive community where women can seek healing and support without barriers, all while recognizing the importance of being connected to a church that feeds them spiritually. We believe that by collaborating with various churches, we can better meet the diverse needs of women and help them find a place to grow in their faith.
