Our Partners
These partners are making a difference in our community.
Founded in 1995 to "Share the Good News through the Performing Arts," Jacob's Well is one of the oldest continuously-operating Christian coffeehouses in Connecticut. Patterned after the original "Jesus Movement" coffeehouses in the 1960s and 1970s, Jacob's Well is usually held once per month in The Oasis, a cozy renovated 1800s storefront next to Union Church. Sometimes it's held in the Union Church sanctuary if we need more space. The coffeehouse features live performances by an eclectic mix of Christian artists who share their gifts and testimonies. A brief inspirational message is shared by founder Drew Crandall, then Arno Groot closes with The Lord's Prayer on the saxophone. Admission and refreshments are free. Jacob's Well is also live streamed on the Union Church Facebook page and the Jacob's Well YouTube Channel, and broadcast on the Community Voice Channel.
