We believe that Jesus is fully God and fully man and is the only way that those who are far from God can enter into a right relationship with God. It is through God that we live, move and exist. He is ever-present, unchanging, all-knowing and worthy of all our trust. He is a loving, faithful Father, full of compassion and mercy, whose promises will come to pass for His people. The Father: Greater than we could imagine Although they exist as one, each member of the Trinity serves different functions while maintaining the full power and authority of God. God is a three-part being: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Salvation is a free gift from God that cannot be earned by our efforts. It is only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection that we can have a right relationship with God. (Deuteronomy 4:1-2 Psalms 119:11, 89, 105 Isaiah 40:8 Matthew 22:29 John 5:39 16:13-15 17:17 Romans 15:4 2 Timothy 3:15-17 Hebrews 1:1-2 4:12 1 Peter 1:25 2 Peter 3:16)īecause all mankind has sinned and fallen short of being right with God, God sent His Son to die on the cross to pay the price for our sin. It is completely free from error and is extremely relevant to our daily lives. We believe that it was written by human authors under the divine inspiration of God. In our journey to do this, the timeless truth of God’s Word will always remain our authority and compass. Our heart is to see people thrive with new life in Christ. So our story is # I AM ALL IN!!! We're ALL IN for God and will do anything but Sin to bring the Living Water to the thirsty as they DISCOVER LIFE But here is the shouting part of why God is sending Discovery Life: 80% of people without a church say that they are looking for a church that fits, is accepting, relevant, fresh, that is authentic and real.that's 38,400 thirsty and searching for God. Yes, despite some great churches it is true. So that means 48,000 aren't being reached. So as crazy as it may seem.crazy is what we do as we have a passion of reaching people no one is reaching while loving all people.įacts Don't Lie: What do we mean by "a passion of reaching people no one is reaching"? Well, only 14% of people in the Central Florida area have a church home or even attend church? It is true, thats about 7,000 out of roughly 55,000 people in the Ocoee to Apopka area. Hence, the genesis of our name - DISCOVERY LIFE. Now, that’s CRAZY! But God showed us that people are THIRSTY, in a drought drinking anything available and are just surviving instead of DISCOVERING LIFE WITH GOD. What was it? God said to leave an Army Executive Position and move your family to Central Florida where you know nobody and start a life-giving church called DISCOVERY LIFE. When, God stepped in and told him to do something crazy. Our story starts as Pastor Kevyn was in his Pentagon Office in DC contemplating the location of his next military assignment.
