After a fun experiment in having a "name survey," I have realized something that we all know but find hard to admit. People see things from very different perspectives and have strong, even if diametrically opposed opinions.
Even though I doubt the name will be Jacob's Well, that has been my favorite name for about 7 years now. It comes from John 4 (Jesus and the Woman at Jacob's Well), and is a picture of a place where sinners meet Jesus, experience grace, and become radically missional (out of their overflowing joy) and glorify God. There is so much gospel/grace in that image... I just love it! And the name is a great launching pad for sharing the gospel with others, too. "Jacob's Well? What's that?" "Well, let me explain..." The subtitle or tagline could be "For Those who Thirst." Or "A church for those who thirst," or even "grace for those who thirst." : )
The award winner for most creative name... "Fermentation Fellowship." : )
