ABOUT

A Transformation Is Happening

Bridging New and Old

Known by many names the Ocoee to Apopka areas are growing at a rapid pace. It is already the 2nd Largest City area in Central Florida and it appears that weekly more land is being developed, more houses are being built, and more businesses start. But despite this growth it is a area where people are "Thirsty" and seeking God as only 14% have a church home but 80% say that they are searching for the church that fits them.

There is no doubt a transformation is taking place and Discovery Life Church is helping to cultivate the spiritual life of Ocoee to Apopka (North Orlando). We are launching a new church from scratch and we have a place for you.

Come see, we're ALL IN and become a DISCOVERER!!!!

Meet Part Of The Launch Team

Starting a church requires a team. These are some of the people who are Discovers and volunteer their time for God's vision. All ages and races coming together to transform our city as they each say: I AM ALL IN

OUR VIBE

Discovery Life Church is a place to be yourself, make deep connections, and find safe space to explore spirituality.

The people you’ll meet come from every walk of life. We believe that every person has God-stories to tell, so you’ll probably identify with someone you never thought you would.

We’re definitely into Jesus, so we’ll sing some songs to God and we’ll open up the Bible. Everything we do is a chance to learn from the past, make sense of our present, and seek a better future.

We also really believe in treating all people like they are valuable. We won’t force you to the front to confess your sins, but watch out because you might just make a friend and try to get to know them better over coffee.

We're building a new church,

for a growing community

The Plan

SEASON 1: LEARNING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY

In 2016, we started by immersing ourselves in the lives and stories already happening in Orange County and specifically Ocoee to Apopka. Our goal is to make connections, grow relationships, and seek out how Jesus is already at work in town.

SEASON 2: GATHERING IN A COMMUNITY

In 2017, we began cultivating people interested in forming a new transformative community. Started monthly gatherings, social and hangout in different places to draw people together from Ice Cream Socials in Ocoee to Park Fun Days in Apopka.

SEASON 3: SOFT LAUNCH TO BUILD DREAM TEAM

In late Fall of 2018, right now, we gather the first 3 Sundays of the month for Pre-Grand Opening Worship Encounters to 1) minister God's Love to all who come 2) To grow the Discovery Life community, our DREAM TEAM for preparations for an incredible Grand Opening in Fall 2019.

SEASON 4: GRAND OPENING AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. As we listen to God as we grow a healthy team, we will launch our regular weekly worship gatherings in the Fall of 2019 through a GRAND OPENING.

SEASON 4: LIVING AS A COMMUNITY

Fall 2019 thru 2020, While the worship gatherings are a critical part of a church, it is not the only focus. In fact, launching a new church is not the end, but the beginning. We will continue to gather, grow, and go as we seek to be a positive impact in our communities.
