Discovery Community Church

We have been coming here for a few months now and have felt so welcomed and love the messages each week!

I have been going here for years, involved in a variety of ways. It is an imperfect church (the body of Christ being made up of imperfect people, who recognize their imperfection and need); who are at all stages of growth, seeking to come together at different places to follow Christ as a body of believers, under leaders who are imperfect and also growing. Take a walk through the New Testament, and you see the same. I am giving it 5 stars, not because it is perfect; or has been perfect in its growth (just as I haven’t); but because I see it persevering in the faith; aiming at a vision in following Christ to carry out the ministry he has called us to; taking steps in ministry to touch lives in a positive way and glorify Him; learning and growing from mistakes (even leadership); and I have found I can be heard (not necessarily meaning others always agree). It is not just my way that matters; as I am called into a fellowship to give and serve also; alongside others with different personalities and gifts. This fellowship has touched many people’s lives in a positive way; many not a part of this fellowship; and reached out to the community and beyond (down by the border, involvement with and supporting other ministries, outreach).
Here is a personal note. As grandparents who bring two grandchildren; we are so thankful for those who give so much time to the children’s ministry. My great-grandson can be challenging (having some special needs). Those serving in his class have many children (not just him); and as grandparents; we can be a bit prejudiced. They have shown so much grace, and communicated with us. I know it is hard to please everyone when accounting for care of their children; but I see those serving as going above and beyond in seeking to do this.

We always feel so welcome here. The message is biblical and relevant. The personal testimonies are proof of God's grace and love.

There is NO other Church in the East Valley that feels like home to us. We moved to North Phoenix for a year and drove the 60 minutes each way to attend services. When we chose to purchase our forever home it was an easy decision to move back to the East Valley so that we could permanently be part of our Discovery Community Church family. Pastor Ben and his beautiful wife Angela are amazing & inspiring leaders. We LOVE Discovery Community Church!!!!! I would give 10 stars if Google would let me LOL

We searched long and hard. We love it here. Pastor Ben, VBS and the message here is phenomenal. We are happy here and will stay for years to come.
