The Well Culture
Our guiding verse to how we conduct ourselves at The Well is 1 Corinthians 10:23-24:
“‘Everything is permissible’- but not everything is beneficial. ‘Everything is permissible’- but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.”
We are a House of Prayer that is open to all denominations, and to anyone who wants to come and seek God. With such a broad audience, we are aware that there may be at times people worshipping together in the same room who come from different worshipping backgrounds. We seek to love and serve the body of Christ. That being said, we aim to honor and love all who walk through our doors and to avoid having our expressions of worship hinder others in their pursuit and prayer. We believe that when we employ healthy boundaries out of respect and love for our fellow brothers, true freedom and brotherly peace can flourish.
Below is a small list of guidelines that we ask all who are in the prayer room to follow. Use this guideline as a window into the heart of how we wish to honor others, rather than a simple cut-and-dry checklist.
Please limit quiet conversations during prayer sets. If you feel the need to talk longer, please step to the back of the room or to another room. We encourage encouraging and praying for others, but not to the detriment of any one else in the room.
Keep your phone on vibrate or silent, and if you need to take a call, please step to the back of the room or into another room.
We welcome and pray for creative expressions of worship. However, please be mindful of others in the prayer room. If you want to dance or use flags, please stay out of line of the worship or prayer leader/s, so others may continue to follow their lead.
Please read this excerpt taken from IHOPKC.com to find out more about The Well Culture:
“All are welcome to come and go freely and to stay in the prayer room as long as they like. While in the prayer room, feel free to join in with the corporate worship and prayer, read your Bible, study a favorite commentary, write in your journal, or engage in private prayer. You may sit, stand, or pace up and down the aisles. Whatever you do, we ask that you do it in a manner that honors and serves the other people in the room.”
