Everyone must choose and pay for their design online no later than Wednesday, July 24th.

Day of workshop: Feel free to bring snacks and your favorite beverages to enjoy while you create! You will want to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the workshop to get settled before the fun begins! Workshops typically last about 2 hours and start right on time. 

During this time you will be painting your boards, applying your stencil, and painting your design. We will be walking you through each step, demonstrating proper technique, and answering any questions you may have. Come ready to paint and have an evening of fun & creating!

Friday 7/28 at 6:30 pm. Hang around the fire with some dudes talking about life, cracking jokes, and sharing a drink (BYOB). This is a late-night group, but don't feel like you have to stick around the whole time. We know some of you have to get up early to work...or golf...

Jesus said there are two types of people (see Matthew 7:13-14 NIV). The majority of people follow the crowd and end up living mediocre lives. However, there are a few who choose to follow him … but it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s a path of eternal adventure and a commitment to giving your life to something much larger than yourself. It’s not easy, but it is so worth it!

Taught by our Lead Pastor, Matt Mehaffey, this hour-long workshop will help open your eyes to the path before you and prepare you for the journey ahead.

Lunch with the Leaders is a monthly opportunity for people who are newer to Discovery to get to know each other, to hear what makes our church unique, and to get their questions answered.

Join the Discovery family in a classic American tradition: the tailgate party!

We will have music, games, a root beer keg and the best part of any tailgate: the food! That's where you come in! We need your help to prepare and serve some awesome brunch-style tailgate goodies.

A Night to Remember is a formal gala where special needs guests will walk the red carpet, get their picture taken by paparazzi, play games, eat delicious party food, and then dance the night away with their friends. 

Rooted is a 10-Week experience that develops a deep, lasting connection with God, the Church, and your purpose. By introducing and practicing Seven Rhythms, Rooted guides you in establishing a transformational lifestyle. New Rooted Groups begin in May. Days and times tbd.

We challenge you to a Bacon-Off!
You bacon it, the ladies will eat it, and may the best man win!

Maple bacon, smoked bacon, bacon a la mode.... there are no limits to what you can do to the bacon. Bring it on Sunday, May 12th and we will vote on our favorites! The winner gets a Henry's Meat Market gift card to buy more bacon!

If you aren't the "bacon-type" or just don't cook.... we still like you for you! And want you to join in celebrating the ladies in our lives by donating other brunch items for all to enjoy. 

Items that can be dropped off ahead of Sunday should be left in the cafe. Please bring a crockpot or other warmer for those that are to be served hot and deliver them to Discovery no later than 8:30am that Sunday.

Current 5th graders are invited to join our usual Student ministry crew (6th-12th grades) for the last big party of the year: BURN YOUR HOMEWORK. And it is what it sounds like. Students are invited to bring one especially challenging or meaningful assignment to burn in the fire as a recognition of their perseverance and symbol of transitions. Plus, it satisfies our inner pyromaniac.

We'll play games, race through inflatables, snack on snacks, and dream about the upcoming year. No need to RSVP; just mark your calendars and show up!  

Bring the whole family to Discovery immediately following our first one-day Mini Adventure Camp!

Enjoy dinner from local food trucks, live music, inflatables, mini golf, indoor playground and book fair.

What does physical wellness look like?  Both for us physically as well as spiritually as the body of Christ?
God created each of us to be unique and to serve a particular purpose. 

This year at adventure camp, we will have a fun time exploring what it means to be part of the body of Christ and how we are called to take care of our physical bodies.  We will explore topics like nutrition, fitness, and rest in fun and creative ways. 

New this year, we will have three opportunities to participate in the adventure camp fun!  We will offer two one-day camps (one in spring and one in fall) and our traditional week-long summer camp.

May and summer camps are open to kids who will be entering kindergarten through 5th grade (fall of 2024). October event will be open to kids currently in K-5th (fall of 2024).

We will have a public open house from 5-7 PM after each one-day camp.  There will be food trucks, a book fair, live music, bounce houses, and open access to our indoor playground and golf course.

Join us as we celebrate our 5th-grade class, bid farewell to Discovery Kids, and prepare to transition to Student ministry!

• Enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast

• Meet our Students Team & get a gift

• Hear from older students about their experience with Students

• Find out about upcoming summer events

Students and their families are welcome!   

Join us Friday March 29th for our first walk through Good Friday experience. We are designing this immersive and reflective walk-thru for anyone and everyone, from children to seniors, to help prepare them for Resurrection Sunday. This unique experience will take you through four crucial moments of Jesus’ final days leading up to the cross. This is a great opportunity to do with your whole family, your Neighborhood Group, or even a group of friends before or after dinner.

If you have any questions about registration or run into any issues please contact Kate Sartori.

Rooted (Students) is a 6-Week experience that provides a framework for a deep, lasting connection with God, the Church, and your purpose. By introducing and developing key practices and rhythms, Rooted guides you in establishing a transformational lifestyle.

The Rooted Experience includes daily meditations, weekly group conversations, a prayer experience, and a serve experience.

Just like anything worth doing, you’ll get out of it what you put into it. It’s a high-commitment season requiring you to invest your time, energy, and finances. The cost is $25 and includes a book and snacks. We also ask that you do your best to make as many gatherings of your Rooted group as possible. If you expect to miss more than two, please consider committing to Rooted during another season.

Like any journey, it’s important to huddle up and get the lay of the land. Basecamp gives leaders in our church an opportunity to share our vision and values with anyone interested in joining our church as we follow Jesus together. Meet us right after the second service in the Public Room. We’ll buy lunch and provide any childcare.

Dates are important for every couple, no matter what stage of family life you are in! Intentional sharing and meaningful time together are a must. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask your spouse to be your valentine and invest in your relationship.

Discovery is investing as well. You can't have a Valentine's Date Night without childcare! Register and sign up for complimentary childcare! A Chick-fil-a meal will be served for children ages nursery through grade 5.

And as an added bonus, 25 lucky couples can choose to have dinner in the Public Room here at Discovery. The menu will be personalized by Chef Greg Vakiner for $50.00 per couple.

Make sure you register today! Spots are limited.

We’re closing out the year and this season of Students with a good old fashioned X games. Christmas cookies, yeti hunting, karaoke, Mario kart, Christmas Cards, hot chocolate and more. Wear something Christmasy, bring a friend, and rotate through three Christmas-soaked experiences. With every win, your name will be entered into a drawing for various prizes—anything from Stanely Cups (the other ones) to thrift store Christmas Sweaters.

Discovery Students ONE BIG NIGHT

Join us by the fire with s’mores, pizza, hot drinks, board games, and a game of Humans vs Zombies! Use Nerf guns and pool noodles to save yourself. Bring canned food goods so you and others can survive, and get some in-game power-ups. Bring a friend too. RSVP helpful, but not necessary.

Has your child been asking you lots of questions... not the repetitive ones like "What's for dinner?" or "What are we doing today?" But "Who is Jesus? What does it mean to accept Jesus into my heart? Can I get baptized?" Answering these questions and generating meaningful conversations around these topics can be difficult.

Join us for a baptism class recommended for children ages 9-14 yrs old. Lunch will be provided. Matt will lead the discussion, helping prepare students to make this statement of faith. 

There will be a baptism opportunity on October 29th. We hope that the class will help foster a discussion between you and your child to determine if they are ready to take this next step.
