HistoryThe church launched in Garland, Texas on July 4th, 1999. We envisioned a community that would reach "the next generation" in a real and relevant way. In 2004, after meeting at a number of venues in both Garland and Richardson, we sensed a calling to downtown Garland. In 2008 we began meeting in the old Garland Opry building on the downtown Square, where we remain today. In 2013 we changed our name to Lifewell Church. We are excited about being in downtown and anticipate God to do great things in and through us!

PrinciplesWe affirm that the Holy
Bible is God’s inspired and infallible revelation to humankind, and we affirm
that the sixty-six books of the Christian canon are a trustworthy record of the
history of God’s interaction with his holy people, culminating in the birth,
life, death and resurrection of the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Holy Bible is authoritative in all matters of faith, practice, and
principle. We rely on the Bible first and last in these matters. We interpret
the Bible from the perspective of God’s final revelation to humankind, Jesus
Christ, and through the Holy Spirit who inspired its writers. This church stands
in fundamental agreement with the Lausanne
Covenant of 1974, and The Baptist Faith and Message.

We agree with the Reforming catholic Confession, which highlights the agreement of most Protestant Christians on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
