I am incredibly blessed that I get to be part of the Discovery team (picture notwithstanding). The staff is made up of very unique individuals unified in their passion for making much of the name of the Jesus. In the two short months we have had together we have spent hours praying for you, the church, the community and the world. We 100% believe that God is going to unleash a movement through Discovery unlike anything we have ever seen and we must be ready.
Next week the Discovery team will be on a retreat where we will be praying, dreaming and playing together. We want to ask you to please pray that God would intensify and crystalize the direction He wants His church to go and that we would all be ready to accomplish His mission. Stay tuned into the Discovery social media Monday and Tuesday for glimpses into our retreat.
Yours & His,
Matt

Current Series - Eat This Book
"Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart." Jeremiah 15:16
The Bible: it’s the best-selling and most widely distributed book of all time. But just because people own it or have the app downloaded on their phone doesn’t mean they read it, understand it or know what’s in it. And even those who know the content can sometimes miss the spirit of the inspiring God behind the words. Reading the Bible isn’t the same as meeting the Living God found within its pages. This series is about dining on and experiencing the God of the Bible, in the Bible. So get to Discovery each of the four weeks of this series, grab your fork and knife and bon appétit!

Next Message Series - Deep & Wide
Beginning Next Sunday, July 22
Deep & Wide captures the heartbeat of Jesus, and describes the kind of church we are called to be: a people relentlessly pursuing after Jesus and making it hard for people in the Pittsburgh area to go to Hell.
In this three-week series Deep & Wide, we will explore God’s purpose of growing people ‘deep’ in relationship with Him and ‘wide’ in our reach into the world.
