Members, vouching for members.

DC Member Directory is a simple idea: Discovery Church members helping Discovery Church members. Members who run a business list it here, and other members vouch for the ones they trust — in their own names.

Every business in the directory is owned by a community member and carries at least one vouch from a fellow member. You'll never see anonymous reviews or pay-to-rank listings — just members standing behind members.

How it works

Anyone can browse the directory and read the community forum. Members — Discovery Church members invited by an existing member — can list their own business, vouch for fellow members' businesses, and post in the community. A listed business becomes public once another member vouches for it. Membership spreads by personal invitation, which is what keeps the whole thing trustworthy.

Who runs this

The founders

Jacob Malherbe

Co-founder · Discovery Church community member

I run a business myself, but it's a national company — not the kind of local, neighborhood work this directory is built for. So why build it? Honestly, for my own family. When we need something local — a plumber, a contractor, someone we're trusting inside our home — I'd rather hire a brother or sister from our church than a stranger off the internet. When Andy brought me the idea it clicked right away — so I built DC Member Directory so our whole community could do the same: find the good, honest, local businesses run by the very people we already worship alongside. I'm a member of the Discovery Church community, not an attorney — just the person keeping the lights on here. If you have a question, a business to add, or an idea to make this better, I'd love to hear from you.

Andy Jones

Co-founder · Discovery Church community member

This whole community was Andy's idea. He runs Orlando Quality Painting, a local painting company right here in Central Florida, and helps lead The Call, a ministry that supports our first responders. He's exactly the kind of honest, hard-working neighbor this directory was built to help you find — and living proof of the community it's meant to serve.
