Our Identity:

WellHouse Church is a church seeking to reimagine what the church is. Too many people have been hurt by a church in their past, because church has become something that it was never meant to be: an event or building that we attend.

At WellHouse, we believe that the people of God are the church and that the love of God should be experienced through the people of God. So, WellHouse has returned to a New Testament expression of our faith by meeting in homes and dedicating ourselves to: the teaching of the scriptures, the fellowship of the believers, the breaking of bread together, and praying together for one another. We are focused on being a genuine expression of Christian hospitality and service to our community and the people of our community.

At WellHouse we want to be a place where people can Be Real, Be Relational, and Be Restored. As our leadership was dreaming up this vision, we looked at Scripture and saw that the earliest expressions of the church met in homes and it was rare that all of the believers were together. Today, most churches have found themselves spending a large portion of their budget on buildings that they rarely use. Not WellHouse. We want to keep our overhead low so we can spend our money on the things that matter, being the hands and feet of Jesus. So, we meet in the homes of our members for the majority of our meetings. Once per month, we all come together at a rented facility to devote our selves together as the whole church for the purpose of worshipping God together.

Today's episode of the Practicing Presence Podcast we continue working through Rachel Held Evans' book "Inspired." But this episode is dedicated to the stories of war and violence in the bible. Happy Listening!

Welcome to season two of the Practicing Presence Podcast. As we launch into a new year and a new journey of our spiritual formation, we are going to be working through Rachel Held Evan's book inspired, a book about the way that we should view and interact with the bible. Happy Listening!

When advent was first instituted (or very quickly after) there was a fast connected to advent. The fast persisted until the 13th century. But why did it stop? Should we bring it back? Or are there other spiritual disciplines that we should be doing alongside advent? Happy Listening!

For most of the history of the Christian tradition we have celebrated Advent? But do we actually understand what advent is and what it means and stands for? In this episode of Practicing Presence Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss advent in light of spiritual formation and what it means to celebrate advent. Happy Listening!

Hey there friends! On today's episode of Practicing Presence we continue working through Henri Nouwen's book "Making All Things New." Today we will be talking about community, but specifically the way in which your solitude makes you better in community and community makes you better in solitude. Happy Listening!
