Leadership
Jeremy Carr, Lead Pastor
As an Augusta native, I am well familiar with the over-churched/under-gospeled culture that the South has to offer. My roots in the creative arts community led to some local/regional success as a musician during and after college. During this period I became convinced that Christ’s missional mandate to make disciples is best expressed through the planting of churches indigenous to a culture. Though the vision for the WELL was birthed in 2003 along with co-founding elder Reggie Horne, the church did not begin Sunday morning meetings until 2006 following assessment and coaching through Acts 29. My desire is to see gospel transformation for nominal Christians and non-Christians alike. My greatest honor is being husband to Melody and father to Emaline and Jude.
Jeremy has been part of Acts 29 since 2007 and is a contributor to the Resurgence blog. He has an M.Div. from New Orleans and is in pursuit of a Th.M. from Erskine.
Reggie Horne, Executive Pastor
Reggie was born in Greenwood, South Carolina, but he has spent most of his life in the Augusta area. After working in the technology industry for several years after college, Reggie heeded God’s call to attend seminary and enter the ministry. It was during seminary with co-founding pastor Jeremy Carr the vision for the Well was birthed. Reggie completed his Masters of Divinity at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in May of 2004. Reggie and his wife Amy were married in 1997. They have two daughters, Natalie and Laurel.
Reggie shares a passion to serve the city of Augusta in such a way that God’s grace be known to all who live here.
Jason Webb, Worship Pastor
My story is typical of most kids growing up in the South, in church, in particular a Southern Baptist church. I was a “good kid”, by my own standards. I would, on occasion listen to the sermons, I went to Sunday School, I attended the youth events and retreats and at the age of seventeen I walked the aisle and got myself baptized, because that’s what you did, when you were a good kid, growing up in the South. I’m not so convinced though that God regenerated my heart that day, because I’m not so sure that I fully understood the weight of the gospel, in fact, I know I didn’t. Looking back, I feel my response to the alter call was one of obligation and not out of a sincere repentant heart. It wasn’t long though, that God would soften my heart and allow me to see who Jesus was and how His atoning work on the cross could save me from the hell that I deserve. Though, I don’t know exactly when my soul crossed from death to life, I do know that a decade-ish later God is continuing His sanctifying work in me.
As a part of Gods sanctification I was introduced to Wendy, whom I married in the fall of 2005. She is an amazing woman in general and an amazing wife and mother in particular. She keeps me humble and encouraged, two things I continually need. We have the joy of raising two little boys together, Colson and Joel, and it’s similar to a nonstop summer blockbuster at our house, lots of action and drama. I love it. It is truly a wonderful responsibility to have a family to shepard.
In Gods providence I am serving in a position at The Well I never thought possible alongside a guy, pastor Jeremy, who in my late teens thought his band, The Riff Raff Kings, were rock gods. It is quite humbling that God would choose me to lead our church in songs that glorify Him and to serve with men who’s faith I admire. My hope for The Well is that we would crush this culture of worship of gods and create a culture of worship of the one true God, where Jesus is central and scripture is treasured.
