3D Community

Christ called us to love one another and be devoted to one another just as He loved us.

At the Well, we recognize that this is a lifestyle that goes beyond a weekly service. We desire to live out Christ- centered community that is authentic and holistic, encompassing every facet of our lives. We see our lives as missional, whether it is our vocations, our passions, or our past-times.

At The Well, our 3D Community provides the context for every member to grow in a shared and missional life in Christ.

We have purposely not created a set of predetermined programs for people to mold their lives around, but instead equip people to live out the mission of the gospel in the context of a shared life in Christ. Our 3D Groups are where this happens. They are where we:

1) Develop Community,
2) Demonstrate God’s love, and
3) Deploy our Gifts in Service.

We study the scriptures together, pray together, disciple one another, bear one another’s burdens — all in and through Christ. And through these groups, we do mission throughout the city of Portland, proclaiming the gospel and reaching to those hurting in our city. For all of these reasons, if you are a member or friend of The Well, it is vital that you be a part of The Well small group community.

The apostle Paul knew that he was going to have to jump in the middle of the community to show Gods love. 1Cor. 9:22 proves that there are those who are willing to jump in the midst of a sinful world so that they may share the blessing of Christ!
