EPISODE 9- Serving and our New Community Center
Fifty years ago, God began writing the story of Mariners Church through a small group of people committed to bringing Jesus to their friends and neighbors. Our mission hasn’t changed. In 1998, God provided the opportunity for our church to purchase the land we now call “home.” It took thousands of families sacrificially giving over 16 years to provide the place where we worship, serve others, and connect in community today.Since 2000, we’ve believed and we’ve imagined. And God provided. Throughout our journey, God’s faithfulness has been undeniable and we have remained steadfast in our commitment to reach out to our community with Jesus’ love.
We celebrate the generosity of all who have given to fulfill God’s vision for Mariners Church. Thank you! We prayed that our neighbors, moving into 6,000 new homes in our area, would want to call Mariners “home.” You are all a part of this history, God’s story for Mariners Church.
Through us, God continues to do more than we can imagine.
Now He is calling us to go BEYOND ourselves and into this community.

He is a genius leader, blogger, author and teacher to other pastors and parents in the church and in the public space. He writes at careynieuwhof.com and runs a successful podcast called the Carey Nieuwhof leadership podcast.
We are talking about what to do when students start to withdraw. We have all seen this as parents if we have junior high or high school aged kids. They start to do their own thing and don’t need us that much. When we see some times we don’t know to react. This week we look at this topic with a leader who knows a lot about it.
