Looking for a social media experience that puts faith first? theWell (formerly BePerk) is a Christian social media platform that combines short-form videos, photo sharing, stories, and direct messaging — all in one app built for believers.^1
What sets theWell apart is its "Doves" feature — a faith-driven space where users can post prayer requests, share testimonies, and spark meaningful discussions on topics of faith and life. Every prayer request is visible to the entire community, so you don't need a big following for your brothers and sisters in Christ to join you in prayer.^1
theWell also tackles one of social media's biggest problems: the pressure. Users can hide their followers, likes, comments, and views entirely, creating a space where authenticity matters more than metrics. The team actively moderates content to keep the platform God-honoring and safe, especially for younger users.^2
Originally launched in 2019 as BePerk with a focus on combating online bullying, the team behind it — GODS HANDS, Inc. — felt a divine calling in 2023 to dedicate the platform fully to Christ. By late 2024, it was reborn as theWell, named after the encounter in John 4 where Jesus offers the Samaritan woman living water.^1
Why Christians Love It"BePerk is just what it is! A perfect full room of God's Kingdom! Brothers and Sisters in Christ all around! I literally became in love with this app in just 5 minutes! If you're a believer, trust me, it's much more peaceful than being on other social media platforms." — App Store Review^2
