Plan a Visit

Getting to know each other

We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at Discovery Church a great one!

SERVICE TIMES

Discovery Church meets every Sunday morning and offers identical contemporary serves at 8:00, 9:30, and 11 AM.  And now Sunday afternoons at 4:30 PM.

We also meet on Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM for a Prayer Service.

LOCATION

Discovery Church
2201 Startown Rd
Newton, NC 28658

What can I expect?

WHERE DO I PARK?

As you enter the church property off of Startown Road, there will be parking attendants to guide you to parking spaces designated for visitors in close proximity to the worship center.

HOW LONG IS A SERVICE?

In total, a Discovery Church service is about 75 minutes in length. Services begin with worship team leading the church in music- song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of the service is complete, our lead pastor, Smith Sharpe, will come out to share an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus.

WHAT'S THE CULTURE LIKE?

Sunday's at Discovery are exciting, casual, and relaxed. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.

WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?

We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week- and at Discovery, we make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children's safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Discovery Kids program the first time that you visit. You'll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes the first time you come to get signed in for the Discovery Kids experience. Discovery Kids in offered during both services for kids ages infant through fifth grade.

WHAT ABOUT MY YOUTH?

The Discovery Student Ministry has "small groups" every Sunday morning during the 9:30 AM service. This allows kids grades sixth through twelfth to talk about faith and culture in a safe environment. It also provides a healthy place to grow and develop good, lasting friendships. DSM also meets Sunday nights for youth group from 6:00-7:30pm.
