Our Story

It all started when...

Five families met together March of 2003 with a calling to bring the love of Jesus to the Schertz/Cibolo area. In September we opened services to the public in a local middle school. In 2005, the church was able to buy 25.5 acres in Cibolo and decided to hold services on our property in September, 2006. We bought a large tent and met in it for the next three years. After three years of planning, we broke ground for our first building on Mother’s Day, 2009. We’ve been hosting services and events here ever since.

THE VISION OF DISCOVERY CHURCH...
The vision of Discovery Church is to be a place where each person is loved, transformed and equipped. We believe the bible is for us today. At Discovery we use a modern-day translation and speak in simple terms that are easy to understand. We also use media, music and non-traditional methods to communicate biblical truths which bring life-changing results when applied. Regardless of church background, or a lack of one, people who attend Discovery Church hear a message of hope through Jesus Christ.

OUR HOPE FOR THIS COMMUNITY...
I believe the local church is the hope of the world. It is through the local church that people find hope and healing, worship God, and experience life-change by the resurrected Christ. If you are new to Discovery Church or you are visiting us for a service, I trust you will find God and allow His Holy Spirit to work in your life. Whatever we need, we invite Him to do the work. Our prayer is that He will change us forever! Thank you for visiting our website and Discovery Church. Whether it is this church, or another Christ-centered fellowship, my prayer is that you will become an active member of the Body of Christ…because the local church is the hope of the world! - Andy Hostetler, Lead Pastor

Where we are headed...

We work to infiltrate our culture and community with the message of Jesus as each person is love, transformed and equipped. We may be a long-term home for most, or a short stop on the journey for some, but all are invited to come experience the life-changing power and presence of God. Each person then carries this presence into their workplace, school, neighborhood and family to bring spiritual renewal.

Discovery is a church that seeks to fulfill our unique identity and walk in obedience to his mission for us as we focus all our energies to bring love to our community, create an environment for lasting transformation and equip each person to life out their own God-given calling.  Our presence in the community improves and enriches the people who live here, and we work and pray for that influence to continually increase.

We are looking for men who are strong, courageous leaders, submitted to Christ as the Head of the Church. We are looking for women who are confident in their calling and stepping into their designed destiny. We are looking for those experienced and seasoned people who can guide with wisdom and love.
We are looking for young adults and teens filled with energy and ready to transform their world with Jesus. We are looking for children who are ready to discover how wonderful the love of God is. If you want to join the journey with Jesus as he transforms us, come be part of our story!
