College & Young Adult Ministry

During our college and early career years, we make decisions that impact the rest of our lives. As you pursue your studies, careers and relationships, we want to help you realize the path God has for you. Here at Discovery, we are happy to invite you to be a part of our Biblical Community where we will help you discover and live a life transformed by Jesus Christ. Whether you are with us for one month, one year or four years, we’ll lovingly welcome you in, build you up, and send you out.

How do we intend to accomplish that? By…
  • Connecting with You: You are not meant to go through life alone, and you cannot grow closer to Jesus without the support of loving Christian friends and mentors. At Discovery, you’ll find a caring and welcoming place to connect.
  • Growing with You: Whatever you are going through, we’ve been there! We want to share with you what we have learned about life, love, and Christ. Benefit from our support, grow from our experience, and learn from our mistakes! At Discovery, you’ll find thoughtful and wise people who want to disciple, mentor and even feed you.
  • Equipping You: We are all in the process of growing into who God has created us to be. We want to help you develop the gifts God has given you so you can fulfill His purpose in your life. Serve with us, grow with us, join with us in fulfilling Christ’s mission and ministry in his church here in Davis… and beyond!

Discovery does not have a student-only group that meets weekly. Rather, we focus on partnering with on-campus fellowships and being a cross-generational church family to you during your years in Davis. We’re glad you are here - Welcome to Discovery!

How we will minister to you:
The Student-Family Connection
Families at Discovery want to support you by having you and your friends over for dinner and to do laundry! Don’t be bashful – we know you could use a good home-cooked meal. Contact Maria Zalesky at mazalesky@ucdavis.edu for more info.
Men’s & Women’s Connecting Points
We connect men with men and women with women, and desire to do it across generations. Connect with men and women that have been where you are and desire to share their life experience with you. Guys contact Pastor John. Ladies can contact Brandee Robbins at b_robbins86@hotmail.com
Monthly Campus Coffee with your Pastors
Pastors John and Aaron want to connect with you. Join us on the UCD campus once a month to catch up or ask questions. Bring your friends!
Community Groups
Discovery’s small groups meet throughout our city in homes, parks and coffee shops. Whether you are looking for mentors or fellowship with other college students, we’ve got a place for you. Grad students, we’ve got a great Community Group just for you! Contact nphendricks@gmail.com to get connected.
Equipping Ministries
Our Bible Class, teacher trainings, and young leaders’ discussions are geared to equip you for your future ministry, whether that is here at Discovery or across the world. In addition, we invite you to use your gifts to serve alongside us and learn from ministry mentors.
Local Missions Events
We consider Davis our primary mission field. Join us as we reach out with the love and message of Jesus Christ through our city service and events.
