Our Story
Racheal, Andrew, and Alex met in Bible College, and all have a love and devotion for Student Ministries. We have seen how a fun and welcoming environment can help foster growth in youth and in their lives, relationships and spiritual journeys. We want to create a real community that can be transparent with one another, in the belief that this will help us grow. We believe that there is a place for each person in this community to get involved and grow in the unique gifts they have been given. We are dedicated to learning how to serve Blind River and becoming a part of the community. We want The Well to be a place where people can find belonging, hope and the love of Jesus. "
We are always curious to know more, and to get better at serving you. We want to always learn modern ways of ministry, and explore new ways to share The Good News.
Alex grew up in Iron Bridge, just West of Blind River. He attended Algonquin College for Interactive Multimedia Development, and Master's College and Seminary for his Bachelor of Religious Education. Over the years he has gained experience in both Technology and Ministry, and loves it when those 2 worlds combine. When he's not working at The Well, he can usually be found doing his other job of Web Development, delving deeper into his hobby of Astro Photography, spending quality time with his friends and family, or scarfing down a Shawarma.
