Southwest Church

What Southwest Church does

Wellspring Church (formerly Southwest Church) is a Bible-teaching Christian church headquartered at 44-175 Washington St in Indian Wells, California, operating as an independent non-profit religious organization. The church serves individuals and families across all life stages — from infants through seniors — through a multi-campus model that includes a main Indian Wells campus, an outdoor Church on the Lawn venue, a dedicated Spanish-language Wellspring en Español campus, and a Church Online digital campus. Weekend services are held Saturday at 5:00 PM and Sundays at 8:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and 11:30 AM, with children's ministry available at all services and dedicated middle school and high school sections at the 11:30 AM service.

The church delivers a structured discipleship pathway branded as Next Steps, progressing through four stages — Planted, Rooted, Growing, and Going — and supplements this with age-specific ministries (Kids, Students, Young Adults, Women, Men, Couples), small groups, a counseling center, recovery and care programs, outreach (both local and global), a thrift store, and a Pastoral Residency program for training future church leaders. A related entity, WS Christian Academy, operates a preschool and academic programs at a separate domain. The church's technology footprint consists of a church management platform (Rock RMS references observed), a Church Online streaming campus, a YouTube channel (@WellspringChurchCV), a podcast (The Other 6 Days Podcast), daily devotional content, and a Wellspring mobile app available on iOS and Android. Founded under the Southwest Church name and rebranded to Wellspring Church effective January 2026, the organization operates without a parent company, external investor, or public listing.
