What is WELL?
WELL is a ministry focused on bringing glory to God through helping believers and non-believers understand what the bible says about the stewardship of their body. We use workouts, lessons, testimonies and homework over 12 weeks to look at God’s truth on topics like vision, community, humility and discipleship.
The 36 workouts are done in a group setting, and are scalable and measurable to include everyone and every fitness level. The lessons and testimonies are centered on what God’s Word says about the stewardship of our bodies! The 24 homework lessons help participants look at the condition of their heart when it comes to every aspect of wellness: physical, mental and spiritual. We strive, through all these means, to encourage everyone to surrender their wellness to God for His glory.
Why WELL?
The idea of stewarding our bodies for God’s glory is usually missed by both those within and outside the church. Most people view wellness as a means of control to either add time to their lives or as a vain self-serving effort. WELL teaches the importance wellness plays in our day to day interactions, our overall physical healthy, and ultimately our intimacy with Christ.

STORIES
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

STORIES
SCOTT
For my entire life, as long as I can remember, I have struggled with being very overweight and food addiction. I’d go through seasons in the past of doing well, but those were short seasons. The struggle is heightened by the fact that my dad died of heart disease when he was 39 years old, leaving behind a single mom and two boys aged 3 and 6. By the grace of God I recently turned 41, but my health is probably worse than my dad’s was when he passed away.
For me – this has been my issue. There have been others, such as lust and pornography, anger, and low self-esteem and worth; but, God has done some great things with those struggles. This, however, has been one that has been my, as Paul calls it in 2 Corinthians 12, “thorn in the flesh”.
I have been a part of WELL since April 29, 2013. There have been great seasons of success and success of intense, miserable failure. Here are 3 lessons I’ve learned while in WELL. My story is a good example of what we call in re|engage, a “teachimony” as I share lessons while telling my story.
RYAN
I still love desserts, but I am learning to be measured in how and when I enjoy them. For the first time in my life I am craving exercise. I have seen changes in my physical appearance and I feel better! Most of all, I am learning to include these areas of wellness as acts of worship to a God that purchased me at a high price! I am grateful for this experience, and prayerful that this journey will continue!
