Our Story

For several months, God was speaking to Josh and Tammy Williams about beginning a work in their home. Independently, the Lord was also speaking to Tim and Cindy about beginning a work in their home.

In the Spring of 2012, the Lord brought the four of us together and we began sharing with each other what the Lord was saying to each of us. At the same time, the Lord spoke to Pastor James and Shelly Williams that they would plant a church in Dallas.

After much prayer and numerous confirmations, and after receiving very specific instructions of how this church was to be structured and function, we started The Well Church of Lewisville. Our first home service was held on July 29, 2012.
