New series launches Sep 4, 6 & 7!

This world has a lot to say about your love life, with empty and dangerous messages constantly bombarding us, leaving us feeling unsatisfied. But God’s Word goes against the world’s cliches, pointing us to Jesus as our true fulfillment. Join us for our new series, Proverbs for Your Love Life, as we learn to combat the unwise romantic advice around us with the truth of Scripture.

Join us for live jazz music after all our Sat and Sun services as we kick of our series. Come to the 5:30p service on Sep 6 and stay after for food trucks, face painting, a balloon artist, and more for your whole family!

Meet Our Senior Pastor

Eric Geiger is married to Kaye, and they have two daughters: Eden and Evie. Eric is the Senior Pastor of Mariners Church. He is still in awe of God’s grace and grateful to get to teach God’s Word and serve Mariners Church. Eric received his doctorate in leadership and church ministry from Southern Seminary and has also authored or co-authored several books, including the best-selling church leadership book, Simple Church, and a kids’ book with his favorite co-author— Evie. During his free time, Eric enjoys exploring new places to eat in Southern California with Kaye, taking his daughters to the beach, mountain biking, and playing basketball.

Meet Our Lead Pastor

Jared Kirkwood is the Lead Pastor of Mariners Irvine and the Discipleship Pastor. He has been at Mariners Church for 16 years and has served as the Junior High and High School Pastor, Lead Pastor for the Rooted Network, and as a Teaching Pastor. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Vanguard University and a master’s degree in global leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. Jared is married to his wife Kim, and they have two ridiculously awesome kids, Asher and Ellie. Jared enjoys a round of golf with friends where he spends more time in the sand than he does at the beach.
