The Well Community Church

What The Well Community Church does

The Well Community Church is an independent, non-profit Christian church headquartered in Fresno, California, founded in 2002 by Senior Pastor Brad Bell. It operates a multi-site model across two physical campuses — the Clovis Campus at 325 Nees Ave and the Fig Garden Campus at 4545 N Palm Ave — alongside an online/digital campus with live streaming and on-demand content. The church serves individuals, families, and children across the California Central Valley, with life-stage programming spanning preschool through young adults, plus recovery, marriage, premarital, women's Bible study, athletics, care, and missions ministries.

Its ministry product portfolio includes Life Groups (small group communities), re:generation Recovery (a Christ-centered 12-step program), re|engage (marriage enrichment), Premarital Merge, Women's Bible Study, Well Kids (preschool through 5th grade), Well Student Ministries (6th grade through high school), College & Young Adults, Athletics, Care Ministry, and a Missions program with local and global partners. The digital product layer comprises a website (thewellcommunity.org), an iOS/Android mobile app, sermon podcasts/video archive, and online giving. The technical stack is built on Rock RMS for church management, PushPay for donations and recurring gifts, MailGun for email, Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and Powered By Text for SMS communications.

The revenue model is contribution-based: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants collected in person and online (via checking accounts and major credit cards through PushPay), supplemented by stock donations and the dedicated Cultivate capital campaign for campus expansion and relocation. Pricing is non-transactional — there are no fees for services or programs — and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Affiliated operating entities — The Well Counseling Center, Valley Leadership Academy, and The Well Coffeehouse — extend the church's reach into counseling, leadership training, and community hospitality, with missions partnerships via Students International, LeaderTreks, the John & Vera Mae Perkins Foundation, and Every Neighborhood Partnership.
