We meet for worship each Sunday morning in the Wells Social Centre. We are a church plant of Christ Church, the parish church over on the other side of the common. We maintain close links with Christ Church, and their clergy and Reader lead our worship, together with our own Local Worship Leaders.

Open Meeting at the Wells Centre
Monday 28 January at 8.00pm

For many years Christ Church on the Wells has been seeking to serve the pastoral needs of the Wells and Ebbisham communities. On 28 January, we are holding a meeting to look at the way forward to Christ Church on the Wells, and we are hoping that many who are involved in the life of our church will come along. We will be considering how best we can continue to serve the Wells and Ebbisham communities in the future. Do come along to the upstairs lounge at the Wells Centre.

There is also a prayer group that meets regularly. They are very happy to pray for particular needs, which should be passed to Ann Chandler.

Children

Children are an important part of our church family. Our aim is to help children discover a Christian faith, learn about the Bible, and feel part of our Christian family.

Our childrens’ group, The Mustard Seeds, are encouraged to participate as much as possible in our services They stay in church for our Family service on the first Sunday of each month. On other Sundays, the group meets in a room adjoining the main hall. Children join the service towards the end and share what they have been doing with the rest of the congregation.

Baptisms. If you would like to have your baby baptised at The Wells we would be pleased to arrange this for you. Please contact Dean Ayres or Ann Chandler to arrange this.

Families living on The Wells and Ebbisham Estate, who have had their babies baptised in Christ Church, are invited to come to a service at The Wells at a later date, so that they can be welcomed into our church community.

Pastoral Care

We believe that the church should be a community that cares both for its own members and for other people in the area. Many of our members regularly visit people who are ill or struggling with any aspect of life, or who they know would appreciate a cup of tea and a chat. In addition, we have a pastoral team that can respond to particular needs that we hear about.

The Wells Pastoral Team is part of a much larger team at Christ Church, Epsom Common. They are trained by the Diocese or Parish Church. They visit people in the neighbourhood to listen, to pray, and to offer practical support, or to help those people who are in any kind of need. In addition, they visit people who are considering having a child baptised.
