ABOUT US
Discover Church was born from a God-sized dream to see lives transformed by Jesus in San Marcos, CA. For us, church is about people discovering hope, purpose, and community in Christ. Our journey in ministry has spanned over a decade, leading a church in WA state for ten years, youth pastoring, discipling leaders, and seeing firsthand how the gospel changes lives. We are passionate about making Jesus known, building authentic relationships, and equipping people to live out their faith in a meaningful way.
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.””
KYLE + KARA
Kyle grew up as a pastor’s kid, but his faith became real at 17 when two mentors invested in him. That moment changed everything and set him on the path of ministry. Since then, he has spent years leading, preaching, and discipling people to experience the love of Jesus. Kyle is passionate about training men to be leaders in the home, teaching the Bible to people of every age and stage, and equipping families and young professionals with tools to live out the life God has for them.
Kara has always had a heart for making complex things simple—whether that’s helping people engage with the Bible, equipping women and families to raise kids with a biblical worldview, or creating spaces where people find belonging. As a former high school teacher and current volleyball coach at Mission Hills HS, Kara passionate about encouraging and training the next generation of young people.
THE CHURCH WE SEE
We see a church that helps people discover Jesus and follow Him. Discover Church is not just about a Sunday service—it’s about teaching God’s truth through a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. Church was never meant to be boring! We want every person in North County to experience the transformational power of Jesus and bring His light into their homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
We see a place where a father of three can explore faith for the first time, where a working mom can find encouragement and community, and where a young professional can be equipped with truth and spiritual disciplines to stand firm. A place where children and the next generation can discover who Jesus is and how He transforms their lives. We want to be a church where the weary find rest, marriages are restored, and future generations are raised up to follow Jesus boldly.
We see a church that exists for the city—a church that is deeply embedded in the heartbeat of San Marcos, serving families, empowering students, and meeting practical needs. Through acts of generosity, intentional discipleship, and a culture of invitation, we believe Discover Church will be a place where people experience the love of Jesus in a way that transforms lives and strengthens our community.
We see a church that is not just about gathering but sending—equipping people to go into the world, live out their faith, and make disciples. Our mission is clear: to help people follow Jesus, find community, and discover their purpose.
