Assessment

The Well Community Church is a large multi-site church in Fresno's Central Valley with multiple campuses including North and Fig Garden. Founded in 2001 from a living room. Multiple Sunday services across campuses. Church went through some kind of 'reset' around 2019 (Wondering Eagle blog documented this). Independent with no denominational accountability. Large and active but verify theological specifics and current leadership.
