Discovery Community Church is a church born out of Jesus’ prayer for unity:
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” - John 17
In 2002, the leaders from Park Church of God started meeting with the leaders from Park Christian Church to explore the idea of the two churches sharing some ministries. The youth groups began meeting together and had a very positive experience.
The leadership of the two church continued to meet and asked challenging questions as they sought God's will for the two churches like, “Would we be more effective working together rather than working apart?” and "Would it be a better use of resources to work together instead of working apart?”
In May of 2004, both congregations voted unanimously to merge and form a new church called Discovery Community Church.
