Here are some of the things taking place at the Well on a weekly basis.

The Well is a newer church which was planted into the former Northland Methodist Church building in 2019. We are a church committed to growing as family and community as we follow Jesus together – to be people who extend God’s welcome to all. Our Sunday worship is intentionally intergenerational and interactive -a space for people of all ages and differing stories and diverse backgrounds to get involved as we story and apply the Bible to our lives together.

Sunday worship is very family-focused and can be quite lively!  Services include praising God (with all-age friendly songs) prayer, interactive storytelling, and a short talk. We then, as a community, respond in various ways -  creatively, in discussion, reflectively, whatever suits you best. But there is something for everyone in every service.  Our Sunday Service begins at10.30am (or pretty close to that time) with a light buffet breakfast available from 10am.

The story of The Well is founded in John 4, where Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. The woman was someone who was excluded in different ways – and Jesus broke all sorts of cultural rules to have a conversation with her – it was a conversation that transformed her life, and the life of her whole village.

Through prayer, learning, and doing, as we follow Jesus together, we want to see God's Kingdom come in Darlington and beyond. Our dream is to see people belong, grow and serve together.

At The Well we look to:

• Be intergenerational in all we do.

• Be incarnational in serving each other.

• Be intentional in loving our neighbours and community.

• Invite others into a transforming, liberating relationship with Jesus.

The Well Community Hub, which is open 10am-2pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays is a space for everyone. It is a key way in which we look to serve and work with our amazing local community.  The Hub is run by our amazing volunteers from the Church and Community and includes a café, thrift shop, Baby Bank and community Pantry which are available when the Hub is open. We also work in partnership with The Bread and Butter Thing (a food redistribution charity) to offer cut-priced groceries, alongside our Community Lunch on Wednesdays.
