Who Is DCN?

We're a group of Christ-followers who are growing together on a continuous journey of becoming more like Jesus while learning to live in the realm of God’s grace. Our life experiences, backgrounds, ages and personalities may be different, but we are all united by our common faith.

We’re committed to reaching our community with the life-changing message of Christ’s love in relevant and innovative ways. Our mandate is to make fully committed disciples who KNOW God, GROW Together, and GO to Serve.

WE SEEK to KNOW God by learning who He is through teaching and worship, and by accepting the call to discipleship. This is the purpose of our weekly celebration worship services.

WE SEEK to GROW Together in our relationship with God as we build relationships with each other in true biblical community. This is the purpose of our weekly growth groups.

WE SEEK to GO to Serve our neighbors, communities and beyond as we live out our life as committed disciples. This is the purpose of our ministry teams and community events.

Fully committed disciples are active participants in ministry service. As Ephesians 4:12 makes clear, the Pastor’s role is “to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…” while verse 16 teaches that the whole body “grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”

What to Expect

We meet together for our celebration worship service Sundays at 10:30 AM. Once you arrive, you’ll quickly discover that DCN is not “church as usual”!

You’ll welcome our relaxed and casual atmosphere; friendly people; free Continental breakfast; inspiring modern music led by a live worship band; practical and relevant messages; two fully-staffed nurseries; and an exciting program for kids. We recommend parents arrive at least 20 minutes before the celebration worship service to check-in their child(ren) at their respective areas.

Feel free to slip in and out anonymously, or stay and make friends. Come as you are and just be yourself!
