Worship: The Heartbeat of DSMC
2025 Goal: $540,000 or 36%
At DSMC, worship isn't just an event—it's an indelible experience that draws you closer to God and each other. Worship leaders Tori and Jonah Brown embody this spirit, their journey a testament to worship’s transformative power.
From joining the church in 2002 to leading worship today, the mother-son duo has seen firsthand how music shapes faith across generations. As a child, listening to his mom practice had a significant impact on Jonah. “It’s just such a pivotal time in your development,” he said. “All those songs we sang are still buried deep in my head…it just felt natural to start leading worship myself.”
Tori says worshiping with Jonah has profoundly affected her. “It’s such a beautiful and precious time with the Lord…it’s an experience I will always treasure,” Tori said. For the Myers family, worship is something they “want to experience more of”, and “it feeds us for the rest of the week”, says Jessica.
Now, they envision even greater depths for DSMC. “There’s a hunger there for something deeper, and the better we get at listening to the Lord, the stronger the response from the church will be,” Jonah said. Tori’s prayer is that DSMC will be a place where "every trouble melts away" as people surrender to God in worship.
Your tithe fuels these prayers and amplifies our worship, glorifying God and nurturing a community where faith flourishes and lives are changed.
Discipleship: Embracing the Great Commission
2025 Goal: $810,000 or 54%
"Go and make disciples of all nations." (Mat. 28:18) Jesus' final command echoes through the ages, challenging us in a world where cultural lies are constantly warring with Biblical truth. At DSMC, we embrace the sacred duty of discipleship with unwavering commitment.
Our mission is clear: to disciple believers at every stage of life and faith. From curious children in our Bible Buddy program to life-long believers in adult Sunday School, we're cultivating a community rooted in God’s Word.
Through youth groups that ignite passion in teens and life groups that deepen family faith, we offer multiple pathways to greater spiritual maturity and strong relationships with Jesus.
Hugo & Ale Mendez’s story exemplifies the transformative power of discipleship. “My wife and I were separated because we were following our own instincts,” Hugo said. “When we began to attend Bible studies, everything changed. God brought our family back together and drew us closer to him.”
Today, Hugo envisions a church where members boldly share their faith. “That’s what I would like to see: disciples making more disciples for Christ.”
Your tithe to DSMC is an investment in a disciple-making movement. From our sanctuary to our community, and beyond, we're answering the Great Commission.
Serving: Ministry & Missions
2025 Goal: $150,000 or 10%
Just as Jesus ministered to those in need, we’re also called to help the vulnerable. Whether serving in the church or on the field, we’re committed to transforming lives physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Jim and Ginnie Street embody this commitment. After years of serving abroad, the Street’s considered DSMC their temporary church as they waited for their next missionary assignment. God had other plans.
"We discovered ministries that touched our hearts right here," Jim said. From prison outreach to disaster response, the Streets have been deeply moved by their experiences. "We always receive more than we give. We’re getting blessed and we’re honoring God."
"My prayer is to see more people supporting our church with their tithes, talents, and gifts," Jim said. That’s our prayer too! Join us in make a lasting impact on our community and beyond, now and for generations to come. Pledge your tithe today.
Join us in our mission to make disciples who will shape His Kingdom now and for future generations.
