history of the well
The Well Coffeehouse opened in the Spring of 2011 hosting Christian outreach programs twice a week produced by Lifetree Café. In February of 2013 a singles ministry started with a band on the 1st Saturday and karaoke on the 3rd Saturday. By June of 2013 there were live Christian bands every Saturday night and were open to everyone. In December of 2013 live Christian music was added every Friday night. By May of 2014 live Christian music was added every Tuesday night.
In June 2014 The Well became a Virginia non-stock corporation governed by a Board of Directors and in August 2014 The Well was granted 501(c)3 non-profit status by the IRS.
In July of 2020 the Well opened a resale store in the adjoining space which was able to stay open during Covid and helped with expenses when the coffeehouse needed to be closed.
Over the years Bible studies were being held and projects were organized to assist other outreach organizations and churches.
In January of 2023 The Well Ministries was formed to encompass all of the activities that are taking place at the Well.
