Our Story
In 2015, something extraordinary began. Our church was born out of the vibrant college ministry at Highland Baptist Church, fueled by a vision to reach university cities with the love and message of Christ. Allen Tate and his dedicated team embarked on this journey, planting a church that would not only serve its local community but also spark a movement—a church-planting network that has continued to grow and spread. The Well Church Florence is honored to be a founding member of this network, a testament to God's powerful work through us.
Fast forward to 2023, and The Well Church embraced a new chapter with the arrival of Zach Miller as our lead pastor. Under his leadership, we've shifted our focus from merely planting to establishing a lasting presence in Florence. Our vision is bold and clear: to see every person in the city of Florence and on the campus of UNA engaged with Christ's love and gospel. We are driven by a deep desire to be God's instrument in making a profound, eternal impact on the community in which he has called us to serve.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are filled with anticipation and excitement. We are preparing to move from the gym at Highland Baptist Church into our very own space at 855 Florence Blvd. This move is more than just a change of address; it's a strategic step forward in our mission to send disciple-makers of Jesus by being disciple-makers of Jesus. We believe that with this new home, we will be even better equipped to serve, reach, and love the people of Florence in ways that will bring God praise for all eternity.
