In May 2011, City Church changed its name from The Well.
While in high school, God gave Dean Inserra, City Church's Lead Pastor, a passion to one day plant a church in his hometown of Tallahassee, Florida—an over-churched and under-reached city.
In early 2007, with a group of close friends, Dean began a Bible study in his parent’s home. After much prayer, this core group decided to begin City Church (formerly The Well), a church committed to reaching a lost generation by communicating an everlasting truth in an ever-changing culture. Sunday night Bible studies quickly grew from twenty to several dozen people. During this time, a Sunday evening service was developed throughout the Summer of 2007
City Church had its first evening service on Sunday, August 19, 2007 at Godby High School with 130 people present. Over the next few months, attendance rose, with Easter and Christmas services being held at The Moon, a local Tallahassee night club.
An additional morning service option was added in August 2009, and in August 2010, City Church completed renovations on a leased warehouse space and moved into its first permanent facility, an auditorium for main services and a Kids building for Children and Family ministry. In early 2011 another morning service was added as hundreds gathered each week to hear the Gospel. In 2012, City Church expanded it's current warehouse auditorium and lobby space, and held it's Easter service at the Tallahassee Leon County Civic Center.
With attendance still growing, City Church continues to reach out to those in the community and beyond and share with them the life changing love that is Jesus Christ.
