Thank you for choosing to worship with us today! As a church family, we are deter-
mined to come alongside of you to enable you to become all that God wants you to
be. Every person’s life story is different but every life story has a purpose that con-
tributes to making God’s church that much more relevant in this world. So no mat-
ter where you are in life right now, we want to help you figure out where you are in
your journey with God. Hopefully you will find a place here to grow in your faith and
serve our God together.
At The Journey, we are focused on making disciples whose love for Jesus impacts
their love for each other and their love for the world.
Our vision is to be a multi-cultural, outreach-oriented, grace-filled church that has
fallen in love with God, His Word and with each other. A place where authentic and
relevant praise happens naturally as an expression of our love for God. Where peo-
ple are being equipped to grow into disciples of Jesus who are making an impact on
the world around them.
LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, LOVE THE WORLD
Our mission is...
