The Team

The Well leans on local talent to function, and this ministry has grown into something really special by using the gifts and charisms of women right here within the greater Des Moines community. Should you feel called to share your time, talent and/or treasure with us, please reach out to us through the contact form below. Through mutual discernment and prayer, and aided by the Holy Spirit, we will find a place for you! (Romans 12: 4-8)

Her roots serve as an inspiration to continually seek opportunities to help make Iowa a great place to live, work, pray, and play. In 2016, Lisa blended her skills for building community with her love for Jesus and founded The Well women’s ministry. Along with her husband Deacon Joel and their four children, the Schmidts are parishioners at St. Pius X in Urbandale, Iowa.
