A Different Kind of Church...

 

First, we're glad you're here!

The very first thing we'll ask of you is simple: relax. You're with friends. Even if you've never been in church before, you'll have no worries about being singled out or "volunteered." Just come hang out. Join us this Sunday at 10:30 in the Discovery Café for free coffee and refreshments. Then, stay for our uplifting Celebration service.

Can church be fun?

Live music. Videos and dramas. Celebration Services. Relevant lessons. Casual atmosphere. People welcomed just as they are no matter their background. People empowered to use their talents and gifts. Sound strange? That's Discovery Road Church!

How should I dress?

Come casual. Most folks wear jeans, a pair of khakis, or whatever you're most comfortable in.

What about my children?

Your children will have a blast in Discovery Kidz! (First time guests repeatedly tell us their children loved their experience and can't wait to return!) When you arrive, our welcome team will help guide you and your children to the appropriate area. Or, if you prefer, you are welcome to keep your children with you in the main worship service. It's your call!

Will anyone single me out or embarrass me?

No. You won't be asked to do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable. We'll greet you warmly, help you find your way around, and answer any questions you might have. A simple guest form is available to give us a brief record of your visit if you choose. Guests are specifically asked to feel no obligation to give money.

What about Worship and Music?

Our one-hour worship service begins at 11:00 AM with a time of inspiring, upbeat worship music led by our band and vocals. Over and over, guests tell us this part of the service helps them authentically connect with God. You are invited to particpate as you feel comfortable. Some people sing and clap along; others might lift their hands humbly in worship; some might simply listen and reflect quietly. We invite you to be who you are and to seek God without any fear of hype or manipulation.

After a brief time of greeting, you'll experience engaging teaching from the Bible by pastor Jorn Junod. You'll find him to be relevant, authentic, and passionate about helping you to understand how the Bible applies to your life today. We don't water Scipture down . . . we humbly teach it with conviction and straightforward simplicity; so whether you're just tearing the plastic wrap off your first Bible, or whether you've read it cover to cover, you can grow and be challenged in your faith journey.


The teaching often features inspirational and engaging videos that make the service even more memorable and impacting. You'll always get something on Sunday you can use on Monday! And you'll leave uplifted, challenged and ready to experience the life God offers you through Jesus Christ.
