Ministries

Sunday worship service

 

10:30am at The Well Church
Level 2, 10 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park NSW 2127

Our Sunday worship service is the most important time of our life together as a church.

We gather together as imperfect people who respond to the grace of the good and perfect King, through hearing from the Bible, singing and fellowship. We would love for you to join us in worship.

 
 
 

Children’s ministry (Kingdom Builders)

Our children’s ministry runs concurrently to our Sunday worship service. Parents and children will join the service for praise and worship. After that, the children will go to separate classrooms where kids ministry leaders will run some Bible-centred activities: songs, games, and a story. The aim is to disciple these children so that they grow to know and love Jesus!

Our desire is for the Gospel to go out to the nations and down to the future generations. So, we believe that teaching our children about the saving work of Jesus Christ is one of the most important things that we can do for them!

We currently have 4 classes in our Kingdom Builders program:

  1. Cubby House (0-2 years old) — Leaders: Lydia K and Helen K

    • Note: For this class, parents are encouraged to remain for the program in order to join in the activities and help their children along the way.

  2. Tree House (Preschool) — Leaders: Joanne L and Sherilyn K

  3. Glow House (K-Year 2) — Leaders: Dorcas C and Lydia L

  4. Light House (Year 3 and Up) — Leaders: Lee-Ann C and Hannah P

For child protection purposes, apart from Cubby House, we ask that parents leave their children in the care of our kids ministry leaders. We provide safe, structured, and age-appropriate environments for your children. We use The Gospel Project curriculum (Lifeway), which teaches through the Bible and connects it all back to Jesus. We have organised praise and worship, and do crafts or handouts in class as aligned with the lesson for the week.

All of our kids ministry leaders have active Working with Children Checks (WWCC) and have all undergone Safe Ministry Training.

We also seek to cater our ministry to children with special needs. We will do our very best to work with you to integrate your child into our community. We want to know that they are dearly loved by Christ.

 

Growth groups

Growth groups are an essential part of our church life. We meet in smaller groups to apply the Bible to our lives, to pray for one another and to strengthen relationships within the wider body.

Our aim is to grow deeper: 1) in our knowledge of God’s Word, 2) in intimacy with God, and 3) in relationship with each other.

We currently have two community groups - one on Sunday after church which meets fortnightly and another on Friday evenings which meets weekly.

Local and Global Mission

We believe that we are called to bring the Gospel from The Well to the world. We aim to accomplish this mission in at least 3 ways:

Firstly, we seek to ensure that the Gospel is preached and taught in a clear, accessible, and persuasive manner every single Sunday. The hope is that members of our congregation feel empowered and emboldened to invite their friends to church any Sunday of the year.

Secondly, we seek to equip our church towards Gospel Fluency. The idea behind Gospel Fluency is being able to speak the truths of the Gospel naturally, clearly, and graciously in every situations. This is cultivate formally through our Membership Course, and is strengthened and sharpened as every member is discipled in the life of our church.

Thirdly, we seek to grow our support of local and global missionaries. We partner with a number of organisations to ensure that the Gospel goes far and wide—especially to places that we ourselves are unable to go. Below are our active partners:

  1. Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (Perth): Daniel Chew, Staff Worker at University of Western Australia

  2. Equip Seminary (Malaysia): Rev. Dr. Elliot Ku, Adjunct Lecturer (our church supports Elliot to travel to Malaysia to teach and equip future ministers of the Gospel)

  3. The Presbyterian Church of New South Wales (PCNSW): As a congregation of the PCNSW, we pay an annual assessment which contributes to the ongoing ministry of the denomination. This helps to fund the operation of the PCNSW General Assembly, the Conduct Protocol Unit (CPU) which provides support and advice in relation to abuse matters, and the Ministry Development Program (MDP) which fuels church planting, revitalisation, the training and raising of future ministry leaders, theological education, and world missions.

 

Pastoral Care for Life’s Key Moments

Throughout life, there are moments of great joy, deep grief, and significant transition.

As a church, we believe these moments are not meant to be faced alone. Whether welcoming a child, celebrating a marriage, or grieving the loss of a loved one, the Christian life is lived together, before God and within the community of faith.

Weddings

Marriage is a gift from God and a public commitment of love, faithfulness, and service. Christian marriage is not only a personal promise between two people, but a covenant made before God and witnessed by the community.

We love walking with couples as they prepare for marriage—helping them think deeply about love, communication, faith, and the lifelong nature of their commitment.

Our support

  • Pre-marital counselling (PREPARE-ENRICH) and pastoral guidance

  • Christian wedding ceremonies grounded in Scripture and prayer

  • Ongoing pastoral support for married couples

If you are considering getting married, we advise speaking with Pastor Elliot before making commitments to vendors.

Welcoming Children

The birth or arrival of a child is a moment of great joy—and often great vulnerability. As a church, we celebrate children as a gift from God and commit to supporting parents and carers as they nurture faith in the everyday rhythms of life.

In line with our church’s theological convictions, we encourage parents to prayerfully present their children for baptism as a sign and seal of God’s covenantal faithfulness. We acknowledge that different families will have different theological convictions, and no parent will be pressured into having their children baptised. Nevertheless, we want to welcome new children into our faith family with an emphasis on God’s grace, the calling of parents, and the shared responsibility of the church community.

Our support

  • Child/covenant baptism services

  • Prayer and pastoral support for parents and carers

  • Ongoing inclusion in the life of the church community

We recognise that family stories can be complex. Whatever your circumstances, you are welcome to explore this with us.

Funerals and Services of Thanksgiving

The death of a loved one brings grief, questions, and deep sorrow. The Christian faith does not deny this pain—but it does hold onto hope.

Christian funerals are an opportunity to lament honestly, give thanks for a life lived, and place our hope in the resurrection promises of God. We seek to hold grief and hope together with gentleness and care.

Our support

  • Pastoral support in times of loss

  • Funeral or memorial services shaped by Scripture and prayer

  • Ongoing care for those who are grieving

If you are navigating loss and would love support, we are here to walk with you. Please contact Pastor Elliot or an elder in case of an emergency.

Prayer, Blessing, and Pastoral Care

Not every significant moment fits neatly into a category. There are seasons of change, illness, struggle, repentance, celebration, and discernment that call for prayer and pastoral presence.

We believe God is at work in every season of life, and that prayer and care are vital expressions of our shared faith.

This may include

  • Prayer during illness or major life transitions

  • Hospital visitation in times of medical emergencies

  • Blessing and commissioning for new seasons of work or ministry

  • Pastoral counselling during times of uncertainty or difficulty

If you would like prayer or pastoral support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our leadership are always available to talk and pray. On most Sundays, Pastor Elliot will be at the front after the conclusion of our services to listen and pray with you.
