ServeWell
Happy Summer!!
In case you and your friends might be inspired to take advantage of summer to serve together, here are some ongoing ways to help --
Hope680 Outreach or Bagged Lunches / Baked Goods
Questions about any of these opportunities or looking for something specific? There are lots of different opportunities for a wide range of gifts and interests from food prep, to tutoring kids, to fixing bikes!
Email Margaret Chiang (margaretchiang@wspring.org)
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.
