"THE PLACE WHERE THE THIRSTY COME TO RECOVER."
WE EQUIP INDIVIDUALS AND THE CHURCH TO FIND LASTING FREEDOM FROM ADDICTION
Who are we?
SAVED LIFE is a community of men and women who have overcome (or are overcoming) alcohol/drug addiction and other life-controlling/self-destructive behaviors. We have found a new power and a new freedom through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Driven by the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) to love our neighbors as ourselves and called by the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) to make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching them...our mission at SAVED LIFE is to extend a hand of compassion and support to those battling sin, alcohol/drug addiction, life-controlling and/or self-destructive behaviors.
With unwavering love, acceptance, tolerance and guidance, we strive to empower one another to break free from the chains of addiction and life-controlling sin, fostering a safe community of healing, restoration, and renewed purpose in the light of Christ's love and forgiveness. We are REAL PEOPLE with REAL PROBLEMS who have found REAL HOPE...we are SAVED LIFE.
At Saved Life, we equip individuals, churches, and communities with the tools to help people on their journey to freedom from addiction and other life-controlling/self-destructive behaviors. Through discipleship, mentorship, and community-driven outreach, we guide people to move beyond survival into purpose—recovered, discipled, and deployed for Kingdom impact.
OUR FOURFOLD MISSION
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
Jesus gave His disciples a mission: to start where they were, then expand outward, carrying the Gospel to every corner of the earth. At Saved Life, we embrace this same calling—to bring the Living Water of Christ to those in need, beginning in our own community and extending beyond.
Our Fourfold Mission: A Biblical Blueprint for Expansion
✅ Pensacola (Our Jerusalem): This is our home base. The Well of Pensacola is a place of transformation, discipleship, and recovery, where individuals encounter Jesus, experience healing, and grow in faith. Through outreach, mentorship, and community impact, we are committed to building a foundation of faith right here in our city.
✅ The Gulf Coast & Florida Panhandle (Our Judea): As God moves in Pensacola, we extend our reach into neighboring cities and communities. Through partnerships, church planting, and regional discipleship initiatives, we seek to equip leaders and spread the message of recovery and redemption throughout our region.
✅ The United States (Our Samaria): Just as the early church crossed cultural and societal barriers, we are committed to reaching beyond our immediate context. Through digital outreach (Saved Life Today on YouTube), prison ministry (The Quest to Become Recovered mentorship program), and future Well locations, we will bring the hope of Christ to those who need it most.
✅ The Ends of the Earth: Our ultimate vision is to see The Quest and The Well impact lives worldwide. Through translated resources, online discipleship, and global partnerships, we believe the message of Jesus Christ can reach hearts far beyond our borders.
From One Well to Many...
A well is a place of refreshment, renewal, and life. In biblical times, wells were central to communities—meeting places where people drew water to sustain themselves. At Saved Life, we believe every Saved Life chapter should be a spiritual well, offering hope and transformation.
Our mission is simple: Being all God intended us to be, Doing all He has called us to do. And as we remain faithful, we trust that what starts in Pensacola will flow outward—changing lives, one soul at a time.
OUR TRUTH: THE CHURCH IS A PEOPLE, NOT A BUILDING.
SAVED LIFE : A RETURN TO THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCH MODEL
In the earliest days of Christianity, before cathedrals, pulpits, and formal church buildings, believers gathered in homes. They met in small, intimate groups—sharing meals, studying Scripture, praying, and supporting one another in faith. These gatherings were the foundation of the Church, fueled by the Holy Spirit and committed to living out the Gospel in real, everyday ways.
At Saved Life, we embrace this same model, creating a network of believers who meet in homes, coffee shops, recovery spaces, and sometimes, formal church environments—just as the early disciples did. We believe discipleship is not just about attendance in a building but...transformation in a community. We call these communities, "wells"...because they are a source of Living Water.
HOW DOES SAVED LIFE REFLECT THE EARLY CHURCH?
BIBLICAL FOUNDATION
A PLACE FOR REAL RELATIONSHIPS
DISCIPLESHIP OVER ATTENDANCE
The Book of Acts gives us a clear picture of the early church: “So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” – Acts 2:46-47 (NKJV). This was the organic, Spirit-led movement that fueled the rapid spread of the Gospel. Saved Life Chapters follow this same principle, meeting in smaller, relational settings where transformation happens naturally.
DISCIPLESHIP OVER ATTENDANCE
A PLACE FOR REAL RELATIONSHIPS
DISCIPLESHIP OVER ATTENDANCE
Rather than emphasizing church membership or large gatherings, we focus on making disciples.
We embrace the call to discipleship with a simple but powerful mission: “Each one reach one, each one teach one.” Every believer is called to reach the lost, share the Gospel, and walk alongside others in their journey of faith and recovery. Through intentional mentorship, biblical teaching, and real-life transformation, we equip and empower disciples to make disciples—one life at a time.

A PLACE FOR REAL RELATIONSHIPS
The early church thrived on authentic community. They shared life together, bore one another’s burdens, and grew in faith side by side.
Our chapters create these same deep relationships—providing accountability, encouragement, and real brotherhood and sisterhood in Christ.
SPIRIT-LED GATHERINGS
MISSION AND OUTREACH ORIENTED
A PLACE FOR REAL RELATIONSHIPS
Like the early church, Saved Life "Wells" operate with flexibility. They don’t follow rigid programs but instead allow space for the Holy Spirit to lead.
Prayer, worship, studying Scripture, and open discussions shape each gathering, ensuring that the focus remains on Christ.

MISSION AND OUTREACH ORIENTED
The First Century Church was not an institution; it was a movement.
Saved Life exists to spread the Gospel in everyday places, reaching people where they are—whether in recovery, the workplace, or their homes.
Each chapter is not just a meeting but a mission, actively engaging the lost and broken.
