Discovery’s story began in late 2008 when Tim finally surrendered to God’s call to join the Movement that Jesus had begun over 2000 years ago called the Church! A small group of around ten began meeting in a home on Sunday evenings to pray, study God’s Word, lay the foundation, and plan the launch of Discovery.
With NO building, NO sponsoring church or denomination, NO money, NO equipment, a small team, and Tim’s young age, lack of experience and education; we set the launch date for April 5! God immediately answered with the location and by His grace, we launched April 5, 2009 at St. Lucie West K-8 School. One month later, the rent increased nearly 65% and we were forced to believe God for another location in which He provided Treasure Coast Christian Academy. Ten months later, we were forced to believe God for another location due to zoning issues and again He provided The Refuge!
In just under two years, God has moved in amazing ways with 40 people surrendering their lives to Christ during a weekend experience, 26 following in Baptism, many in our community fed and clothed, mission trips to South Africa and Haiti, missionaries and Church Plants supported around the world - ALL for the Glory of God! He has greatly blessed Discovery, and we truly believe that Greater Things are yet to come!
