Ministries - Prison - The Wells House

The Pentecostals of Gainesville opened "The Wells House" in July of 2001. The Wells House is a faith-based transition home owned and sponsored by and is a ministry of The Pentecostals of Gainesville, Florida. The Wells House is designed to integrate men back into the community, who have recently been released from county jail, state prison, rehabilitation or other programs. We teach and stress the positive qualities of personal discipline, structure of life and money management. Our program reinforces the inspired teaching of God’s principles of maintaining a healthy and productive lifestyle.
