Discovery Church is a worshiping family that carries the healing and grace they experience in worship out into their community.
.Their worship, from the order of the songs they choose to the words of the liturgist, leads them to be aware that God is near, so they can draw close to God, close enough that He can lift their burdens and sorrows. People here are open about their need for Jesus, which brings them into deep fellowship with each other and prompts them to shepherd those who haven’t yet found Jesus.
Half of their recent new members are new Christians and half are mature Christians who want to be part of a community based church. This means they have a particular need for discipleship, which takes place in small groups of 6-12 adults who meet weekly or bi-weekly for Bible study, worship, prayer, and fellowship. In these groups, new and seasoned believers both learn from and support each other, and everyone grows in faith together.
Families with young students pursue that growth at Discovery Club on Wednesday nights, when member and neighborhood children flock to the building for GEMS and Cadets, little kids enjoy their own club, and adults participate in a book discussion group.
That growth is not for its own purpose, but is turned outward to service. Discovery supports and its members volunteer at a dozen different local organizations. They also sponsor many service and fun events to bring them out into their neighborhood, listening, helping, and establishing relationships.
