WELCOME

Hey there!

If you're searching for a place to belong, 
I know The Journey is A Church for You!

My name is Jerry, and my wife Meg and I (along with about 30 friends) planted the Journey in 2009. The Journey isn't a perfect church but we are place that loves to welcome new faces. I hope you will look around and check us out. If you have any questions feel free to ask. And if you have never been to our church before, come by this Sunday. We look forward to meeting you!
