While I was here in June I also went to Discovery Christian Church
First impressions. It was a royal pain to find and even the women in the gas station at the corner of the road it is on couldn't help me find it. Thankfully a customer at the gas station could and I was on my way. Due to getting lost, I arrived just a few minutes before the working service. The services take place in the Regional Learning Alliance and alot of people were socializing in the hallway as I found the service. As I sat down I could see that the church is comprised of alot of young adults and the room filled up as the service got underway.
The service. They need to set up every week and do a nice job. Musically, they had a band who played standard praise and worship songs.
The message. The series was on bad girls in the Bible, with the focus being on the samaritan woman. Theologically insightful the pastor explored the scripture looking at the culture then and the origin of the words, while making it applicable today. Content wise it was a good reiteration on things I've learned about the samaritan woman but nothing new or earthshattering.
The church.
The church was a bit overwhelming and not too welcoming. Perhaps if I got there earlier it would have been different.
Overall. If it wasn't 45 minutes away I'd go back and explore it further
