Discover Church

What Discover Church does

Discover Church is a privately held, multi-campus Christian church headquartered at 7311 S 13th Street, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, with a second campus in Cudahy (South Shore). The organization delivers worship services and ministry programs across all life stages, including dedicated programming for Kids, Youth, Young Adults, LifeTogether adults, a bilingual Hispanic ministry (Impacto), Prime Time Live seniors, and Men's and Women's ministries. Sunday services are offered at multiple times across both campuses alongside Wednesday evening services, with livestreaming and an on-demand sermon media library extending reach beyond physical attendance. The church is affiliated with the Assemblies of God denomination.

The ministry is supported by a digital infrastructure built on standard, third-party SaaS rather than proprietary technology: the website runs on SnapPages, while the Church Center / Planning Center platform handles online giving (credit, debit, ACH, Apple Pay), group sign-ups, event registration, and recurring donations. A custom Discover Church mobile app layers on livestream viewing, sermon notes with pastor slides, Spotify worship setlist integration, prayer request forms, group discovery, and push notifications. Discipleship resources include RightNow Media (15,000+ video Bible studies), YouVersion and Daily Audio Bible reading plans, and The Confident Parent Podcast. Summer programming includes Spencer Lake overnight camps (grades 2–12) and a Mega Summer Camp day program with 10 sports and skills tracks for younger children. Care services encompass care groups, a food pantry, marriage help, wedding services, hospital visitation, and prayer support.

The organization is funded almost entirely by voluntary congregational giving, including recurring tithes and offerings through the digital platform and one-time Faith Promise pledges for mission initiatives. Ancillary fee-for-service revenue comes from summer camp registrations at $295–$332 per camper (Spencer Lake) and $30–$35 per child (Mega Summer Camp). No annual budget, revenue, or attendance figures are publicly disclosed. Governance is self-directed with no parent company or external investors; leadership surfaces include pastoral and ministry staff such as a Discover Youth Director and Discover Kids Pastor.
