Big Announcement (part one)

The Board of Directors for Discovery Church met last week and made a huge decisions. We decided on two new church plants that we will be supporting in the coming year. Over the next couple of days we will be sharing with you more details of these two new churches. However, I first want to make some observations about the reason behind supporting these new churches.

When we first started communicating the vision for Discovery Church, we told people that we were not just planting a church. We were planting a church that would plant churches. We didn't know what this would look like, but we knew that it was essential to our DNA. We believe that every good and healthy thing must reproduce.

In order to make that vision a reality, we committed to tithing to church planting. We have made the commitment from the very beginning to set apart 10% of our tithes and offerings that we receive to support other church plants. From the surface, it makes you wonder what we're smoking. I mean, we're clearly a new church plant that could use the money. However, we believe in giving that we are blessed. We believe in giving that we grow. We also believe that there is no time like the present to trust God and give sacrificially to support His kingdom work.
