We Are
Identity
Church.

Identity Church is a Midtown Daytona Beach church plant that is making disciples who live all of life in Christ. Our church is built around the idea that discipleship to Jesus means that every moment of our lives should be given over to Him. We live that out in these three aims: Being with Jesus, Believing in Jesus, and Becoming like Jesus.

Our Values

  • We believe that the Bible is true, authoritative, and perfect for understanding, correction, and growth. The basis of our understanding of God, faith, and how to live comes from feasting on the Word of God.

  • We have been adopted and have become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Our connection to Christ drives our living as Family. Since we exist as a family, we prioritize our familial bond over cultural, ethnic, and ideological bonds.

  • As we follow Christ, we obey his command to make disciples. We live to be missional multipliers for Jesus and catalyzers for the spiritual growth and development of the saints.

  • The Church was birthed with the idea of unity in diversity. We pursue diversity in age, gender, economic status, and many other areas in life because it's in the original plan and design of God.

  • We glorify God most when we live fully in Him. Our sentness and presence in Daytona Beach is a part of our identity and calling, and we pursue being present in the community so that we are a present light in the world in which we live.

  • The goodness of God should be acknowledged and appreciated as it’s seen, experienced, and displayed. We choose to celebrate those things that are good in our lives as an act of worship and appreciation to God.

Our mission is to establish a diverse sending base for disciples to be made in Midtown Daytona and to the nations.
