To Share the Love of Jesus...

Our mission is to Share the Love of Jesus...NO Strings Attached.

Values

Without the presence of God we are nothing more than an event, therefore, we will always create a place for people to experience Him.

Our faith will always reflect the magnitude of God. Since God is big, we will be people of big faith, dreams and expectations.

God modeled generosity by giving us Jesus. We will always give out of the graciousness and generosity that God has and continues to show us.

Jesus came that we may live life to the fullest! During this journey, we will have fun in our pursuit of all that God has in store for us.

We will fight to protect the purpose and vision of the house, therefore, the poisons of gossip, discord and division are not welcome here.

The cross gives every human being immeasurable worth. We will treat people with the honor the cross displays and demands they deserve.

It is our heart’s desire to always bring our best. From the greatest to the smallest, everything we do will be as unto God. This is our privilege.

Transformation doesn’t happen in crowds of hundreds but in relationships of few. Growth is a result of understanding we are truly better together.

John & Vanessa Pita

Pastors John and Vanessa Pita are the founding pastors of Discovery Church, with over 20 years of full-time ministry experience. At the core of everything they do is a passion for people—helping others grow in faith, find purpose, and feel like they truly belong.

They met while attending college group where their shared heart for ministry first took shape. John studied at Christ for the Nations Institute and later earned his degree from Dallas Baptist University. After moving back to California, John and Vanessa were married in 2008 and spent six years serving as Youth and Children’s Pastors. In 2012, they began to sense God preparing them for a new season of ministry. Through prayer, preparation and guidance from their pastors and mentors, they became confident that God was calling them to start a church.

In February 2014, they launched Discovery Church in Rohnert Park with a simple vision: to be a place that shares the love of Jesus—no strings attached.

John and Vanessa are proud parents to Eli, Madison, and Sammy, and love building a church that feels like home for people from all walks of life.
