Go on the Deeper 2025/26 Adventure
Take a journey on going DEEPER in:
Loving the people of God
Seeking the Kingdom of God
Living for the glory of God
Knowing the heart of God
Understanding the word of God
Walking with the Spirit of God
DEEPER discipleship
Discipleship begins with connection and devotion to Jesus in worship and prayer, means a transformed understanding of our identity in his love, and encompasses every area of our lives as we surrender them for his glory…
DEEPER community
… But we do not go alone. Deeper is not just a course, it is a community of people committed to sharing the journey together. We share time and hopes and risks and growth and questions and jokes and meals and love.
DEEPER waters
As we fall in love with God, we’re pulled into the unfolding story of his kingdom coming here on earth as it is in heaven. We experience what that could mean – for our churches, streets, friends, and for the unique gifts and callings that each of us carry.
OK, WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY DO AND WHEN DO YOU ACTUALLY DO IT?
Deeper 25/26 will run Mondays 9:00-17:00 & Thursdays 19:30-21:00, in term time, from September 2025 to June 2025, based at The Well Sheffield.
Monday daytimes are a delicious combination of:
Worship & prayer as we seek to glorify God and enjoy him forever;
Biblical teaching, practical training, and relational processing around all areas of theology and discipleship, with input from team at The Well, from other churches, and from various guest speakers/missionaries/legends;
Practical mission and evangelism, getting out of the comfort zone and into the gospel/street/serving/risk/miracle/joy zone!
Thursday Evenings
These are given over to The Prayer Meeting, hosted by DEEPER and open to anyone from The Well and beyond. We are committed to journeying into unified, intercessory prayer for the needs of our city and nation, and for the great move of God which will be their great answer.
Over the course of the year there will also be three training/conference weekends at The Well, and an optional, self-funded mission trip to refugee camps around Calais.
DEEPER is not aimed at academic accreditation and there are no formal assignments. There is a 66-book required reading list (hint: it’s the Bible).
The cost is £1,500 for the year, which does not include accommodation or food, except for certain shared meals. Payment plans can be arranged as necessary. If you are not sure that you can cover the fees, please still apply as in some cases there may be bursaries available by arrangement. Regarding visas, in some cases The Well may be able to issue a certificate of sponsorship for those who are interning as well as doing Deeper (see below); please get in touch to discuss.
Can I also Intern at The Well?
Yes please! DEEPER students who are members of The Well (even if only for the DEEPER year) are warmly invited to discuss serving/learning/burning in one or more specific areas of church life. Internships are bespoke but require a commitment of at least one day a week additional to DEEPER Mondays, for at least the duration of the DEEPER year (September-June). Internships are unpaid but interns will be given priority in the consideration of bursaries to subsidise DEEPER fees. Interns are welcomed into The Well team, will receive all the necessary support along the way, and will have a lot of fun besides!
Particular areas which may be open to internships include:
Worship (could include helping write/record/produce songs)
Kids
Students
Youth
Church-planting
Operations
Comms
… Or talk to us if you have another idea!
There is space to indicate interest in an internship in the online application form (below).
