Women's Ministry Fall Bible Study
Wellspring Women's Ministry invites women ages 16 and up to join us this fall as we study 1 & 2 Thessalonians on Monday nights from 7-9 pm and Wednesday mornings at Wellmoms from 9:30-11:30 am. Childcare will be provided on Wednesdays for preschool-aged children and younger. We meet for 11 weeks at church from Sept. 21 to Dec. 7 for large-group teaching and in-depth discussion in small groups. This is a great place to get to know other women deeply through the study of God's Word. A commitment to personal Bible study and weekly homework is required. Please feel free to invite friends and neighbors! Registration will close on August 31st.
Go to the church website for the schedule and passages that will be covered.
Wellmoms Fall 2026
We’re excited to invite you to Wellmoms, our Wednesday morning women’s Bible study, meeting from 9:30–11:30AM with childcare provided! This season we’ll be studying 1 Thessalonians, the same study as the Monday evening Women’s Bible Study. Wellmoms is a great option for those unable to attend Monday nights or who would benefit from childcare.
We will be on the same schedule as women’s ministry. So the start date for Welllmoms will be 9/23/2026 and the end date will be 12/9/2026.
Men’s BBQ
Men of Wellspring, save the date on Saturday, September 26th, as we join together for a BBQ Lunch. We will share some of the exciting plans to come for the 2026-2027 season for Men's Ministry at Wellspring. More details to come soon. We hope to see you then.
Men’s Bible Study
Men of Wellspring! Join us as we begin a 12 week Fall Bible study on 1 Timothy. It will be held on Sunday mornings from 9am to 11am and on Wednesday evenings from 7:30am to 9:30pm (**PLEASE NOTE: the Bible study has changed from Wed morning to Wed evenings). Both Joe and Sam will be teaching this study. The Sunday morning study is during the time of the first worship. The full schedule of the Bible study is on our website. Click the button below to see the schedule.**Please note, that the Wednesday and Sunday Bible studies are the same. You can attend either one. We do ask that you register for one, but if you cannot make a particular Wednesday or Sunday, you can attend the other day to make up the one you missed.
Paul's letter focuses on discipling Timothy, who has been called to serve the Lord in ministry. However, due to his youth and other weaknesses, Paul engages with him on some core issues of faith, doctrine, church life, and most of all, the Gospel. In this way, this letter is an apt book of the Bible for men to study who desire to grow in Christ, despite shortcomings and frailties.
This study will require homework, as we plan on going in depth into the Word of God. We hope you are able to join us in the study of God's wondrous Word.
GospelWell
GospelWell is Wellspring's foundational season of discipleship. So whether you are new to Wellspring or have been attending for years there is no better way to learn the foundation and engine of the Christian life—the gospel. Because through GospelWell, you learn not only about the Gospel and its application, but you come to understand how it impacts life in ministry here at Wellspring.
That is why it is a core requirement in order to serve in most mentoring and teaching and leadership opportunities here at Wellspring.
If you have not taken this class already, we hope you can join us in this time of Intentional Discipleship to learn and grow together, in Jesus.
The class begins on September 22 and ends on November 24. You can go to the website to see the exact class schedule. Click on the button provided to register.
CrossCon 2027
The excitement and challenge of being a young adult are all the possibilities that lie before you. But if this life is a mist, and God’s glory and purposes are eternal, how then are we to live? Answering that question is the purpose of the Cross Conference in St. Louis on December 31, 2026 to January 2, 2027. It will be a time to fix our eyes upon Jesus anew and the present and eternal reality of His gospel. The main and breakout session speakers will include trusted teachers such as David Platt, Kevin DeYoung, John Piper, and many more. And through these times of teaching and worship (with close to 15,000 other young adults), we will have the opportunity to consider our intentional choices in light of who we already are in Christ.
To learn more: Check out the website at www.crosscon.com or speak with Thomas at thomaskim@wspring.org.
To say, “I’m in!”: Please register on our form found HERE and not on their website (we get a better rate this way).
We truly hope you’ll be able to join our Wellspring group this year. Our church will cover your Registration Fee with Meal Plan ONLY if you indicate a commitment through our sign-up list by September 31st. All attendees will need to plan and pay for their flight, lodging, and any other miscellaneous arrangements.
We’re praying for you all and excited for what the Lord will do at CrossCon 2027!

Men’s Integrity Group
True biblical integrity isn’t about just trying harder or managing your image; it is the overflow of a transformed heart.
This gospel-centered men's group offers a safe harbor of grace and truth. We equip men to walk in lasting freedom, mutual accountability, and Christ-like character, breaking the chains of shame, secret struggles, pornography and sexual sin, through the power of Jesus Christ and the Gospel.
If interested please contact Michael Ochoa or Sam Shin.
We are migrating from our church Forum to a WhatsApp community as a means of connection and online community. To find out what type of WhatsApp groups there are for Wellspring, contact info@wspring.org to find out more info to join our community.
Barnabas Gospel Community
New to Wellspring?
New to Wellspring? Barnabas is a gospel community to help you transition to a new church. Come out for fellowship, even enjoy a lunch on us, with others who are also transitioning to Wellspring!
This is a great way to meet other people, encourage one another in the Lord and enjoy a good meal. Any questions? Email Thomas (thomaskim@wspring.org).
Gospel Community
This season of Gospel Communities started in Sept 2025 and ends May 2027.
What is a Gospel Community? As intentional discipleship feeds the gospel (as carried out in GospelWell), Christians are then called to feed one another the gospel. This is Gospel Community. Serving one another with the gospel is how the church carries out the mission of making disciples. For an explanation for this format of group ministry at Wellspring, see video here.
For questions concerning GCs, especially over the summer intermission, please email fujikim@wspring.org.
Audio/Sound Help Needed
We really need help in sound/audio, media/slides, and camera/lighting. If you are experienced, or willing to be trained, we could really use your help. Please contact us at sound@wspring.org.
Prayer Meeting
Weekly and Monthly
Every Wednesday we meet for BOTH morning (8am-9) and evening (8pm-9) prayer. We gather in the Sanctuary to pray for the concerns of Wellspring.
We gather also on the First Sunday of the month, 10:30am, in Third Grade Room.
