Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another. Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.
Romans 12:10-12

Shepherding Elder Gatherings
We gather as a Shepherding Elder community across all our congregations twice a year to spend intentional time connecting, worshiping, and planning for the future of our church. We take time to celebrate what God is doing through our community and share some important updates about Mariners. These times together are encouraging, meaningful and impactful to the unity and effective ministry of our Shepherding Elders.
Mark your calendars, for our next gathering on the evening of:

Serve Opportunities
Rooted
God continues to move through Rooted! In this last ministry year, we saw over 315 Rooted groups across all three sessions, and are fully working toward and anticipating more of the same in this next year! Join us in sharing a front row view of watching God work through community by facilitating a Rooted group in fall, winter or spring. To find out more about specific dates and commit to a session, click below.
If you’re hoping to start a group with people you already know who want to grow in community together, we’d love to help you build a closed Rooted group. Reach out to our Discipleship Director, Melissa Roeder [email protected], to learn more.

Child Dedications
We believe that Child Dedication is such an important moment for our families and an opportunity to celebrate and partner with our church in loving, leading, and launching fearless, world-changing kids. Your involvement in this experience makes everything very personal; creating an intentional environment that will inspire courageous decisions for families to put God in the center of their homes.
As a Child Dedication prayer leader, you’ll create opportunities for parents/caregivers to hear words of encouragement and blessing that will challenge them for years to come by coming alongside them in discussion and prayer.
We would LOVE to invite you to be a part of our Child Dedication ceremonies. These dedications are a beautiful experience for parents and families to dedicate their children to the Lord, and we truly couldn’t do it without you.
