The Well is a casual faith community that gathers each Sunday evening for music, scripture, storytelling and conversations centered around a shared meal.
Our gathering is also unique in our mix of sacred/secular music selections and saying prayers together. The feel of the room is easy and relaxed and the welcome into conversations is real from the greeting song, fun common ground questions to the table conversations after the storytelling.
We gather each Sunday at Wildflower Cafe in downtown Tulsa. 913 S. Boulder Ave. Greeters are at the door with a smile and will invite you to grab a name tag in the chapel before going into the cafe for dinner. Dinner actually starts a couple minutes before 5 pm, and goes until about 5:33 pm. After dinner, we all bus our own tables, a rotating kitchen crew washes the dishes, and after a 10 minute break, we gather in the chapel for our story, music and conversations. The entire gathering wraps up around 6:30-6:40.
One Sunday a month, we partner with LoveWell Collective to purchase, prep & deliver groceries for 12-15 food insecure households. There are other special gatherings throughout the year found on our events page. We also take Sabbath rest on many holiday weekend Sundays to encourage fellowship with family and friends.
Children
Children and youth are a part of our gathering. Most weeks, we dismiss elementary and preschool age children for their own storytelling after announcements and celebrating birthdays. Our leaders, Ashley and Karen, both work with children in academic and non-profit settings and have over 40 years of combined experience leading children in crafts, games and learning experiences.
Toddlers and younger stay with parents in the chapel, but we have a Toddler Garden play area where parents can still participate while being able to watch their smallest ones play nearby.
Youth
We have a leader who facilitates conversations and fun at the youth table for students in 6th-12th grade on Sunday evenings. The last Sunday of each month is Fellowship Night for students and they remain in the cafe for a service project, fellowship and more food!
Kaitlyn and Titus lead our youth gatherings during the week. Sometimes our students are hanging out with students from House Church. On Sundays and weekday gatherings, they get the bonus of feeling part of a bigger faith experience and having their own space for questions and conversations. You can fill out our contact form to request information on our weeknight youth gatherings.
