  • Rule of Life: Family

    In our own disenchanted world with this massive secular/sacred divide there are so many things that impact our spirituality that we overlook. One of those things is family. Family is so important to our overall spiritual health that Pastor Cullen and Clayton dedicate a whole episode of the Practicing Presence podcast to family in our series on the rule of life so that you can advance your own personal spiritual formation. Happy Listening!

    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.

  • Rule of Life: Sexuality and Spirituality

    Have you ever thought about how intimately connected your sexuality and your spirituality are? Have you ever considered your sexual health as a part of your spiritual formation and growth? In this episode of the Practicing Presence Podcast we talk about all things connected to our sexuality and spirituality in light of our conversation about Rule of life and Ken Shigematsu's book "God in my Everything." Happy Listening!

  • Rule of Life: Friendship

    For many years as people of faith, we haven't considered friendship as something connected to our spirituality. Maybe we should. Maybe God does care about our relationships and people who bring our lives joy. So as we continue to talk about rule of life, let's have a conversation about friends, friendship, and being a good friend. Happy Listening!

  • Rule of Life: Scripture

    As we have been working through building our rule of life, its time to taklk about Scripture and reading the bible. But not reading the bible the way that you may have been taught before. No, this is reading the bible devotionally, for the beautiful story that it tells. Happy Listening!

  • Rule of Life: Sabbath
