Our Story

In 2015 Pastor Curtis & Amy Jones had a dream of planting a life giving church with a simple goal- helping people connect with God so that they might reach their full potential. A few short years later with the help of the original Go Team members (around 35 people) committed to see this dream become a reality, Discover Church then launched in September of 2017 at Sussex Central High School. Just a short time later where blessed to move to a permanent location at 406 S Bedford St in Georgetown to help meet the need of Sussex County.


Discover is focused on reaching out to the non-churched community by building relationships through small groups and community outreach. The life-giving message of the Gospel, the passion and joy of Sunday gatherings, and the simple style of Discover Church we believe will bring life to Sussex County.


Our Mission:

We desire to encourage everyone to know God, find community and make a difference in their world.

  • Curtis & amy jones

    Lead Pastors

    Pastors Curtis & Amy Jones are life long Sussex County natives who have been married and in ministry for more than 20 years. For many years both Curtis and Amy were serving on staff at Dagsboro Church of God where Curtis grandfather pastored and where he grew up. During their time both Curtis and Amy were involved in a vast array of ministries such as teaching, facilities, finances and children's ministry. In 2013, God began to stir in Curtis’ heart a new ministry. The desire to plant a church in Central Sussex County could only come from God, and with it, it placed a desire in Curtis & Amy along with 35 other team members to launch Discover Church in September of 2017. With their two children, Elisha & Haley, the Jones family has set their aim to change Sussex County and show the love of God. Discover Church has gone from a portable environment at Sussex Central High School to recently purchasing the building they've been renting for several years. They've seen continual growth to a thriving church with multiple services, small groups & serve teams. They have a desire to encourage everyone to know God, find community and make a difference in their world.

  • Chanell Singh

    Next Gen Leader

    Chanell Singh lives in Millsboro with her husband Trib, together they have two daughters named Alexis and Tristen.  Her family loves to have "forced family fun time" and are avid movie goers.  Trib at times will pick cheesy 80's movies to prove that the 80's is the best decade ever.  Trib and Chanell are now “empty nesters” and while they miss their girls being home, they enjoy spending time with each other sitting in their recliners and drinking their tea in the evening.  


    Chanell has been involved in kids and youth ministries since 2007.  The youth have a big part of her heart, so much so that Chanell and Trib were baptized in 2010 in 24/7 Students along with several of the youth.  Chanell joined the staff at DC in late 2021 and is excited to help lead and teach students how to draw closer to God and create a personal relationship with Him.  Chanell spends many of her evenings attending games, play productions, award ceremonies, cheerleading competitions and anything that our DC Kids and 302 Youth are involved in.  As the Next Gen Leader, Chanell realizes that Sunday mornings are not the only time we should be making connections with families that attend and call DC home.
