After being involved in many different christian organizations for years the need for a simple relational young adult ministry became obvious and set Matt Sherry and Caleb out on the adventure in 2009.
SURF was created in 2009 as a grass roots relational ministry for young adults, became a 501(c)3 organization, grew into a church for all ages, covid hit SURF into becoming a predominantly online ministry, 2023 SURF partnered with ETSU FCA and is currently actively doing relational ministry on campus, at the Cross crib, and online.
Through the years of SURFing life together God has formed more than a community, He turned this little simplified ministry into a family. And that family continues to grow to this day.
Seems to be so many great solid ministries where ever we look, so our vision is to not replicate the same opportunity. SURF offers a different flavor for those seeking a more simplified, more “unplugged”, real, relevant, relational approach.
SURF is not an event driven ministry. There are a lot of ministries that do that really well, we just don’t. We do food, chilling by a fire, playing cards, and more food really well. So we see real life as our sweet spot.
SURFing together doesn’t stop at graduation. We build on the relational foundation we formed together to stay involved in one another’s lives.
We offer once a week large gathering, mid week small groups to dive deeper, game / hangout nights at the Cross crib, serving opportunities,
We try to get on college campuses as much as possible for sporting events, lunches, large group gatherings, and anything else we can think of to be on campus.
We offer a wide range of high quality online experiences through podcasts, social media, group texting, devotional and bible follow along through other apps,
MISSION - LOVE GOD / LOVE YOU / LOVE OTHERS
VISION - SURF exists to create and share content that forms a catalyst of transformation through interactive relational development with Jesus Christ.
PURPOSE - ’Redefine’ church by it's original definition, just a group of people getting to together to hang out, eat, talk about Jesus, figure out ways to serve, edify, love and live life the way it was meant to be lived.
The Cross crib home is such a huge part of SURF, that we knew there was no other place we could have the studio. So, we gutted a room and use it as the SURFstudio.
For now we are producing and posting our podcast through Apple software and podcast platform.
This past year we were blessed to have added 2 small bluetooth mics for in person conversations and interviews. We are need of a new Apple laptop, and nice camera, some studio lighting, and background changes.
