Our Story
Filling Wells Since 1966
How it all began to flow...
For nearly 60 years, The Well Church Cincinnati has stood as a beacon of hope, faith, and transformation in our city. Through seasons of racial tension, economic uncertainty, cultural change, and global pandemics, God has remained faithful. Storms have come and gone, but the Anchor has held.
Since our beginning in 1966, our mission has remained the same: preach the Kingdom of God, make disciples, and bring living water to thirsty people.
What began as a small gathering of believers meeting in a home grew into Tryed Stone Missionary Baptist Church, a congregation built on prayer, biblical truth, and a commitment to serving the community. Under the faithful leadership of Dr. Anderson Culbreath, the church experienced tremendous growth, expanded its ministry footprint, and established a lasting legacy of faith that continues to impact generations today.
In 2006, through a sovereign move of God, Tryed Stone Missionary Baptist Church and New Beginning Christian Fellowship merged together as one congregation under the leadership of Pastor Jerry Culbreth. The newly formed Tryed Stone New Beginning Church became a wellspring of hope, restoration, and community for thousands of people throughout Cincinnati and beyond.
In 2022, Pastor Troy Culbreth was installed as Lead Pastor following the retirement of Pastor Jerry Culbreth after decades of faithful service. Having grown up in the church and carrying a deep appreciation for its history, Pastor Troy embraced the responsibility of honoring the foundation while leading the church into a new season of ministry and impact.
In October 2023, after prayer, strategic planning, and a renewed vision for the future, the church was renamed **The Well Church Cincinnati**.
The name reflects both our heritage and our calling.
Just as Jesus met the woman at the well in John 4, we believe He still meets people where they are, offering hope to the broken, freedom to the bound, purpose to the searching, and life to the spiritually thirsty.
Today, The Well Church Cincinnati is a community of people who have encountered God's grace and are committed to helping others do the same. We are people being transformed by Jesus and sent to transform our city.
We exist to dig wells where others see dry ground.
We believe every person matters, every story matters, and every life can be changed by the power of Christ.
As we look toward the future, our commitment remains unchanged: to lead people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus, reach the lost, disciple believers, and help every person discover the living water that only Christ can provide.
