Their Testimony

In September of 1997, Pastors Tony & Frann were attending a conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Lord got their attention when He instructed Frann to do three things:

1) Act when He spoke.
2) Become debt free.
3) Finance the end time harvest.

At that time, Tony and Frann were agonizing over $282,000.00 of debt, and had no hope of seeing how those words could come to pass. They were living hand to mouth doing the best they could, trusting God daily just to stay afloat. However, God is true to His Word and within two weeks, He gave Frann a creative idea for a business. The Faeths acted on His prompting, and within one year the company was grossing over one million dollars in sales, erasing all their debt in just over two years. Their giving skyrocketed from $5000.00 a year to over $85,000.00!

In February of 2003, the Lord again spoke to Tony & Frann, this time directing them into the calling of full-time ministry. The Well City Church in Springfield, Illinois was birthed, and has continued to grow, yielding a bounty of souls and restored lives for the Kingdom of God.

The History of The Well City Church

In February 2003, the Lord had placed a hunger and desire in the hearts of Tony & Frann Faeth to start a prayer meeting, which was held on Friday evenings.  The weekly prayer meetings were held in a small office in Springfield, IL.  As they sought the direction of the Lord, they felt the Lord was instructing them to hold a Sunday morning worship service and to sow into their own community.

Out of obedience to the Lord and His Word, The Well City Church was birthed.  The first Sunday Morning worship service was held on April 20, 2003 in a hotel conference room in Springfield, Illinois.  God moved in a great and mighty way, and from that day forth, they continued to meet on Sunday mornings in the small office.  At that time, the church consisted of five adults and eight children. 

On September 21, 2003, The Well City Church moved into a new location at 1149 W. Edwards in Springfield, Illinois.  They established “The Well” an outreach ministry of giving away new clothes to the Body of Christ through the local churches. God continued to move in the prayer meetings and the number of people increased as the Lord led those who were hungry for more of Him!  In just four short months, the church supernaturally grew from 13 to an average attendance of 70 in a Sunday morning worship service.

In March of 2004, they established “Takin It To The Streets” an outreach ministry sharing hope, food, and love to the people of the streets of Springfield.  The church continued to grow over the next several months until they reached the full capacity of their building, at which time God supernaturally blessed them with a new location.

On June 13, 2004, The Well City Church moved into its current location at 3111 Normandy Rd. Springfield, IL, where they continue to grow and seek God’s will for His church.
