CAMP COLLIDE 2012

Discover Church held it's first annual CAMP COLLIDE @ Lake Placid Camp & Conference Center in Lake Placid, Florida from June 8th - 10th. The success of this camp was absolutely astounding as we anticipated and many of the attendees are already looking forward to next year!!!

Some of the highlights included a bonfire on the first night (complete with smores of course); the ever popular Slip 'n Slide; the beach bible studies led by Isabel Griffin & Shay Haugen; four amazing services led by Lead Pastor, Chip Stallings; & Worship Pastor, Bryan Ingram; Glow-In-The-Dark Fußball; and yes folks...even the camp food!!!

As always, community played a key role during CAMP COLLIDE, as families & friends were broken down into teams or, as we like to call them, "Connect Groups". These Connect Groups met collectively to discuss daily devotionals, participate in team building exercises, & most importantly...build lasting relationships.

Over 60 people signed up for the inaugural weekend of CAMP COLLIDE, which exceeded our initial expectations. This can definitely be attributed to the strong leadership & devotion to community that Discover Church has only started to build within the Palm Beach County area.

Any of the staff members will be more than willing to meet & speak with you about any questions you may have. Our goal is to: "Change the world by helping others find life through Jesus Christ". Our services are held every Sunday at 11:00am in The Weiss School located on Burns road in Palm Beach Gardens.

DISCOVER MOBILITY

"Thank you Discover Church and the children of your Summer Bible Camp K-5 for their inspiration to undertake this mission.

We as a team, Discover Mobility, are undertaking the goal of raising $10,000 to help our brothers and sisters who are disabled in undeveloped nations. Every time $63.94 is given, one of God's children struggling with poverty and disability can be lifted from despair into a brand new wheelchair".

God's Blessings,

Jim & Ann

We are so honored to have Jim & Ann as a part of the Discover Church family! The money they are raising is used to support an organization called Free Wheelchair Mission. For more information, please visit the link to the right or talk to Jim & Ann on Sunday mornings before or after our 11am service!!!

Changing The World via Mission Visions

Discover Church has entered 2012 with a new focus...TO CHANGE THE WORLD! Of course, at Discover Church, we have been doing just that for some time now by helping people find life through Jesus Christ. As we go from a church that was PLANTING to one that is PLANTED, those two things will always stay consistent, but how we do them will constantly change. They have to change because the world itself is changing & with it so we must.

My name is Eric White and I am the Director of Community Engagement for Discover Church. For those of you who already know me, I pray that you have seen change in my life & that it has inspired you to grow as well. For the many that I have yet to meet, I look forward to hearing your story & becoming a part of it.

MISSION + VISION = CHANGE

One of the ways that we @ Discover Church wish to promote change & growth this year is through something called MISSION VISIONS. Mission Visions occur when your passions meet your proximity & you use those passions to positively effect the community around you. Our Lead Pastor, Chip Stallings, embraced this concept after a visit to last year's EXPONENTIAL CONFERENCE & has really challenged us, his staff, to do the same.

My first goal as the Director of Community Engagement for Discover Church is to build a team whose primary focus will be on helping others establish their Mission Vision & then guiding them towards making it a reality. I personally feel that we truly can CHANGE THE WORLD one Mission Vision at a time!

If you have any questions about Mission Visions or how you can become involved in helping others realize theirs, please don't hesitate to pull me aside before or after our Sunday morning service. You can also reach me via email at: eric@discoverchurchpbc.com
