  • Prayer and Fasting

    People do fasting a lot of different ways, and often times they don't even do it as a prayer practice or for spiritual formation. And yet, the bible talks a lot about fasting and its connection to prayer. In this episode of Practicing Presence, Pastor Cullen and Clayton discuss this ancient and rewarding prayer practice of fasting. 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.

  • The Centering Prayer

    Prayer is vital to who we are as people of faith. But sometimes it isnt always an easy thing to do. We need certain tools around to keep us praying. One of the hardest times to pray is when you are full of anxiety. The Centering Prayer is a contemplative prayer that can be used for a number of different things, but it is a great way to calm anxiety. By using the centering prayer, we center ourselves around the person of God and his love to ground us in our identity as beloved children who are made in the image of God. Happy Listening!
