Discover Community Church is a non-denominational Christian church launched in January 2018.
In 2006, our Lead Pastors, Bob and Gabrielle Oldfield, were both in secular jobs. Shortly after becoming involved in a local church, they discovered a new passion for Jesus and a love for ministry. Jumping in as volunteers, they embraced all the opportunities and eventually moved into Associate Pastor roles at the Highlands Ranch campus of Jubilee Fellowship Church. Along with that move came openings into prison ministry and men’s and women’s ministry. The church continued to grow, and ultimately, they became Campus Pastors. After eleven years as part of Jubilee Fellowship Church, the campus model was eliminated, and the opportunity to take the next step, launching Discover Community Church, presented itself.
At Discover, we pray you feel secure here regardless of where you are in your faith. Secure to ask questions, have doubts, and seek out the truth. We want you to find YOUR passion for Jesus and His Word. We want you to have the chance to discover your gifts and use them. We want this church to bless our community through interaction and outreach and help our congregation build relationships that encourage and inspire.
No one has to take this journey alone!
Our goals met for 2024:
- Through donations received, we built an outside shed so that storage could be moved from the pantry area. This enlarged the space available for food, hygiene items, and limited clothing items.
- Donations allowed us to expand our Farmer's Market event and we served 28 attendees, some of which represented larger family units.
- Restructure of our pantry model to allow for more personalized food options for those who have special needs.
Goals continuing, still in progress, or new for 2025
- Working on infrastructure to enable us to provide food drops for people in temporary need because of lack of transportation or medical procedures.
- Help connect our congregation and their families and friends to more volunteer opportunities through Discover to other organizations or individuals who need physical help. Your donations help us accomplish these efforts by providing resources for scheduling, transportation, tools, supplies, and supervisory oversight.
- Continue to donate space to small organizations and groups who can't afford to rent space for meetings, events, or gatherings. We accomplish this through donations that support our monthly expenses and therefore open up opportunities for gifted space.
- We would like to offer more free events for parents with small children. We understand how financially strapped families are and want to provide a safe space for them to have fun with their kids and not have to worry about funds. Your giving helps us to put together simple events like craft nights, Trunk or Treat, Easter Egg Hunts, movie nights, etc. These events have low overhead and are simple ways to provide special memories and family time.
- To provide free Bible study resources for those who cannot afford to purchase their own items. Ideally, we would like to provide an open signup to our coed study program and provide all the study guides so finances would not be an obstacle for someone to signup. Our prayer is that people who have never been part of a study before will give it try, feel comfortable answering questions, grow in their comfort and desire to read the Bible, and learn to love the Word of God for themselves.
