A Little About Us

At Discover, first we're about Jesus.  Life is getting harder all of the time.  

Jesus wants to walk with us through our lives and help us discover just how joyful it can be.

Second, we're about Community.  Life works best when we share it with others.  

We want to be intentional about developing authenticity with one another and doing life together.

Everything at Discover is about these two things.  

Building a relationship with Christ, and building relationships with each other.

We'd love to have you come be a part of it!

core values

#1 - We pattern Discover after the Biblically Functioning Community described in the 2nd chapter of Acts.

#2 - We believe people should know their spiritual gifts and use them in serving the church.

#3 - We believe worship is an "intrinsic" aspect and should never be compromised.

#4 - We believe in the inerrancy of the Bible and accept it alone as our source document.

#5 - We believe life change happens best in small groups.

#6 - We believe that pursuit of full devotion to Christ is normal for every believer.

#7 - We believe in honoring God through good stewardship of our time, talent and treasure.

#8 - We believe in being authentic with God, each other and ourselves.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe in one God who exists in Trinity.  We believe all three persons- Father, Son and Spirit - posses equally the powers of deity and share the same personality traits.

We believe that God, through His sovereign power and masterful artistry, created the world and all of its inhabitants.  Through His cleansing grace and wisdom He continually sustains His creation.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son and therefore wholly God.  We believe Jesus became a human and possessed a true human nature.  He lived a sinless life, obeying the will of God at every opportunity and qualified as a substitute atonement for the sin of all humanity when He died on the cross.  We believe He rose from the dead with the same physical body and therefore, redeemed us all.

We believe that humanity has an instinctively self-destructive nature.  Because of the price Christ paid though, we can be redeemed.

We believe the Holy Spirit is the supernatural agent of God, who comes and inhabits the lives of those who desire a personal relationship with God.  We believe at the first moment of such a relationship the Spirit is poured out on Believers in a once-and-forever transaction that can never be broken.  The Holy Spirit resides within the Christian forever.

We believe the church is the God-inspired instrument for Christian Community to exist.  We believe in the autonomy of local churches.  We believe the practice of baptism as modeled by Jesus to be appropriate for proclaiming the presence of God in the life of a believer.  We believe communion to be the sacrament desired by Christ for His remembrance.  We believe the elements of the cup and the bread to be symbolic in nature for the poured-out blood and broken body of Jesus.  We practice an open communion of all believers.  We believe the Bible to be not only completely inspired by God alone, but to be without error.

Open ministry opportunities


Our church is currently in a season where we are in need of two people to join our Staff to minister in the areas of Worship and Children. We are praying that God will bring someone that He has gifted with creativity, enthusiasm, and a desire to use their gifts and talents to build upon the foundation of those who have served before at Discover. Discover’s desire is that they will lead us as shepherds into new chapters we have never experienced before!


Worship Pastor - At Discover we believe, “Worship is intrinsic for us, and should never be compromised”. That means we believe adoring and praising God needs to be woven deeply into the lives we lead 24/7 - not just into our Sunday morning gatherings. We are looking for a Worship Pastor to lead us in that endeavor. They must be able to guide and lead our musicians as well as work with the Lead Pastor on message direction. Even more - their heart should beat for the entire church to live lives marked by a continual deepening love for Jesus. We want the Worship Pastor to continually look at the community and seek ways to lead us into the presence of God, in addition to being a key leader of our church.


Children's Pastor - Discover  believes our young people are incredibly important to Jesus! During 2026, we launched a ministry effort to evangelize and disciple our younger ones.  A solid foundation is built with some wonderful volunteer teachers.  We understand that to effectively reach our goals, we need a leader with a true shepherd’s heart, a leader who will become a real part of our kids’ lives, & who will develop programs to strengthen existing families at the church and attract new ones.  Most importantly, the Children's Pastor will be focused on the growth of a ministry that teaches the young ones just how much Jesus loves them.


We are very excited to meet the new Staff team members that God is raising up to be a part of our church.  If you feel you might be one of these Team Members, we’d love to talk soon!  We also would welcome a scenario where these positions might be occupied by a couple.  Please take a good look at our church website and also our YouTube channel to get a sense of who we are.  Thanks for your consideration. If you think there's a connection, let us know here: scott.owens@discoverchurchonline.com . We’re praying for you!
