I have been attending this church about 18 months now, and can say with confidence that the pastors of The Well consistently preach the gospel, root themselves in scripture, and know the Boulder community well enough to identify the lies we are believing and penetrate our hearts with truth. They do this in a grace-saturated, patient, and loving way instead of being legalistic. In a culture that believes in moral relativity and that self fulfillment is the ultimate goal in life, The Well provides a refreshing, though sometimes uncomfortable, perspective that is grounded in biblical truth. It's also a great place to develop friendships and find support. The people at The Well know how to show love to people within the church community as well as their neighbors and those outside the church community. read more

I used to go to the Well but had to stop. While the music may be good, the reality is the ministers are not teaching Christ-like teaching. Unfortunately, the ministers have recently started identifying with a man who is spewing out hate towards women, Muslims, people of color, and the LGBTQ community. I personally had to switch to a church that does not align with Christian nationalism rhetoric like the Presbyterian or United Methodist denominations read more

I would like to begin this review of The Well (Boulder) with the Scriptures that COMMAND us to test and examine ALL persons: 1.. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but TEST the spirits, to see whether they are of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1) 2. "I know...that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but you have examined those who claim to be apostles and are not, and have found them false" (Rev. 2:2). 3. "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather, expose them" (Eph. 5:7). We are COMMANDED to test, examine and EXPOSE false teachings/teachers. I went to The Well in Boulder a couple of times in 2015, and appreciated the sermons and the young people who attended, and the associate pastor was a gifted musician whose songs I appreciated, but something deeply disturbing happened that I feel I must write a review concerning. After the associate pastor sang, he prayed aloud, and each time he said, "We love you, Lord," "We praise you, Lord," his right hand made the "devil's horns" hand sign (the Satanic salute), while his left hand made the one finger illuminati hand gesture. I counted TEN TIMES he made these hand gestures as he prayed, and each time he did that, my blood pressure shot up. The Lord said that if someone offends you, go to HIM and tell him, just between the two of you. If he doesn't listen, take witnesses. If he still doesn't listen, tell it to the church, and if he STILL doesn't listen, "let him be to you as a pagan or tax collector" (Mt. 18:15-17). However, I am in a powerchair, and I was not able to go down the stairs to the stage where the associate pastor was to confront him concerning this very serious issue. I had just left a Baptist church where the pastor had said at the end of the sermon "The sign of the times"--as he closed his eyes and held out his hand in front of him in a prolonged Satanic salute. He was VERY angry when I simply asked him what that sign meant to him, and the next week I brought pictures of characters like Anton la Vey (founder of the Church of Satan) hailing the devil with the devil's horns hand signs before a Satanic altar. He blew up at me, and yelled at me not to spread it around, so I went to The Well. As I was unable to go down to the stage to discuss this issue with the associate pastor, I therefore told the pastor, Matt, after the service how offended and alarmed I was by this, and HE was offended at ME! He told me "That's my assistant pastor!" I got out of there as fast as I could, and will never go back! I also went to this man's FB page, and there was a picture of him and his wife among other pictures. They were both dressed in black, his wife was holding a rake upside down (like a witch's broom), and there was a Wiccan background behind them. Watch the 2014 Grammy award ceremony on YouTube, and you'll see the audience donned in devil's horns hats as they hail Satan with the devil's horns hand sign. Someone also recently posted a video showing how the Satanic salute has infiltrated churches, and it shows several prominent pastors hailing Satan during church services with the devil's horns hand sign. Satan is a deadly adversary who loves to hide in plain sight! ("For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond with their deeds," 2 Cor. 11:14). This WAS in 2015 however, and I will be more than happy to take down this review if I am assured that the associate pastor has repented of any involvement in the occult/Satanism he once had. And I also urge everyone to look up the YT video titled "Satanic Infiltration in the Church," to see how the Satanic salute has invaded churches, and heed the apostle Paul's warning above as well! read more

The Well is a great option if you're looking for a new church home or just looking to learn more. It's a vibrant community that's focused on spreading the gospel all across Boulder and beyond. The pastors approach each sermon with candor and grace--tackling sometimes-tough texts in the Scriptures--and the church body is friendly and kind. The music isn't bad either. :) read more

The Well is an interesting church: one of the few in Boulder attempting to be a community that's anything but. My initial impression of the church was that it was remarkably non-diverse. If you're a 20-something, hipster, graduate student you'll fit right in - maybe not if you are 30 or military. Still I didn't have many options so I thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I found They took a lot of older hymns and redid them in a more modern style. (which can be fine sometimes.) Unfortunately the music was also occasionally way too loud. I left with my ears ringing one Sunday and after that decided I'd either have to sit in the very back of the auditorium or wear ear plugs and I already have a lack of hearing in one ear after dealing with jet engines for years. Maybe 50% teaching / 50% anecdote or personal story. Not being in the target demographic a lot of the anecdotes were lost on me, but I found the teaching to be pretty decent overall. I mean this is Boulder - any church that's teaching out of the Bible is a step in the right direction. I found it really hard to connect there. If you already know people that go you'll probably do fine, but if you're not it can feel like a pretty insular place. There's a fairly big problem attending a missional community (a small group) you get assigned based on where you live, After getting a "Welcome to the Well" email they would decide after a month or so to delete me and lie about it. The only thing I could do is to start the whole process over again to request an account. Since they decided to move their what app group and not invite me, when I asked I was told it's called "which app" If that wasn't enough I was told I was invited to meet in the park and they would even have a picnic one time but was excluded for a reason I wasn't told and when I asked about it I was just mocked in front if everyone. I was also told I should find a church in Denver as I guess they don't want me going to other churches in boulder like Calvary that they partner with. That's when I decided I might have to throw in the towel which is a shame all I want is to fellowship with accepting Christians read more

This is a welcoming community of believers that unashamedly preaches the Gospel, but is a safe place for non-Christians who want to know more about Christianity. read more

The Well is an amazing community in the heart of downtown Boulder. The pastors preach the Gospel matter-of-factly, but in a way that challenges you and cultivates a deeper understanding of the importance of Christ, his work on the cross, and the necessity of the Gospel in everyday life. They balance a love and care for the people with an unashamed conviction and passion for the truth of scripture and offer an open place for anyone and everyone to explore the claims of the Bible. The music is a mix of modern, originals, and retooled hymns and varies from rock to folk to stripped-down acoustic instrumentation. There is an excellent child care program, as well as groups for junior and high school students as well. read more
