Worship At The Well (WATW) is a place where “The Sons and Daughters of God” can come and be replenished, renewed, revived and released into greater levels of ministry. The release takes place in a setting designed to maximize our intimacy with God and a time of impartation from our invited guests as lead by the Lord.
Friday, May 13 will be the Night of Worship beginning at 8:05 pm
Saturday, May 14 will be a time of prophetic impartation & worship from 10am – 2pm
Worship At The Well is a cross cultural, cross denominational platform designed to bring worship to the Father regardless of genre, style, or background. It is a place where believers come with no time constraint and no other agenda than to minister to the heart of God.
It is in this atmosphere that we have experienced miracles, divine direction & prophetic declaration. It is in this atmosphere that we have encountered God himself. This is not about personalities or self-glorification because in the absence of fleshly exultation is the preeminent presence of God. The revelation of who He is is revealed into the hearts of every seeker from the season believer to the unchurched sinner.
