Discover Church Leadership Team
Pastor D Burchfiel
Pastor D Burchfiel’s passion is simple: helping people discover the hope, help, and healing found in Jesus Christ.
At the age of 15, Pastor D placed his faith in Jesus Christ and soon after surrendered his life to God’s call to ministry. For more than 25 years, he and his family have faithfully served the Lord with a heart for reaching people, building disciples, and strengthening the local church.
In 2017, God gave Pastor D the opportunity to plant Discover Church alongside a committed core group of just 25 people. Since then, Discover Church has continued to grow in its mission to love people, serve the Wichita community, and share the Good News of Jesus from Wichita to the world.
Pastor D is married to his best friend, Kristi Burchfiel, a Christian author and ministry partner. Together, they are blessed with two children, Rebekah and Andrew.
Above all, Pastor D wants his life and ministry to point people to one Person—Jesus Christ.

Donna Clark has faithfully served Discover Church for 10 years, bringing a heart for Jesus, a love for people, and a spirit of excellence to everything she does.
As our Church Administrator, Donna is one of the people who helps keep Discover Church moving forward. Her faithfulness, wisdom, organization, and willingness to serve behind the scenes make her an invaluable part of our church family and ministry team.
Donna’s greatest motivation for serving is her love for Jesus Christ. She believes that every responsibility—whether big or small—is an opportunity to honor the Lord and help His church accomplish its mission.
At 76 years young, Donna continues to demonstrate that there is no retirement age when it comes to serving Jesus! Her commitment and faithfulness are an encouragement to everyone at Discover Church.

Rachel Rowland
Rachel Rowland has faithfully served as the Children’s Coordinator at Discover Church for seven years, helping create a fun, welcoming, and Christ-centered environment where children can learn about Jesus and grow in their faith.
Rachel has a heart for helping children understand that Jesus loves them and that they are an important part of the church family. She helps lead our Children’s Sunday School and plays a key role in organizing and leading Vacation Bible School (VBS) each year.
Through her creativity, dedication, and love for children, Rachel works to make every child who comes through the doors of Discover Church feel welcomed, loved, and excited to learn about Jesus.
Outside of church, Rachel especially enjoys spending time with her son and her family.

Noah Kearns
Noah Kerns has served as the Worship Minister at Discover Church for the past two years, leading our church family to worship Jesus with passion, authenticity, and purpose.
Noah believes worship is about far more than music—it is about exalting Jesus Christ and responding to who He is and what He has done. Each week, he helps create an environment where people can turn their attention away from the distractions of life and focus their hearts on the Lord.
Through his musical gifts, servant’s heart, and leadership of the Discover Church Worship Team, Noah is passionate about helping people experience the joy of worshiping Jesus together.
We are thankful to have Noah as part of the Discover Church team as we seek to be a church that is Bible Believing, Christ Exalting, People Loving, Community Driven, and Globally Minded.
