A New Year with Journey 2023

Sundays at Journey - Join Us!

Sunday Morning Worship Gathering:
10:00 - 11:15 AM

In challenging times, our perspective can become clouded. What seems to be true might simply be the result of friction in our lives. God can help us to see clearly and provide direction as he guides us through the stress and the struggles. Join us for our new sermon series as we learn to find God in times of friction and overcome the obstacles.

Week #1 - Friction in our Families
Week #2 - Friction in our Marriages
Week #3 - Friction in our Finances
Week #4 - Friction in Ourselves

Sunday Afternoon:
4:30 - 6:00 PM

The Path Student Ministries (6th - 12th Grades) exists to:
  • Connect students, body and soul, to one another and to God (Deuteronomy 6:5),
  • Serve this church and community by being the hands and feet of Jesus (Mark 12:29-30)
  • Challenge students’ hearts and minds to develop an authentic, personal faith in Jesus (Romans 12:2). . . so that students are equipped and encouraged to be God’s light to His world. (Matthew 5, Ephesians 4-5, Philippians 2)

Sunday Morning:
During Worship

It’s more than a story—it’s good news!
The Gospel Project is a weekly Bible study that helps kids dive deep into the big story of the Bible
—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Are you and your family looking for a church?  a community? answers to life's big questions?

The Journey is looking for you! We are a church that loves to meet new people, help them connect to something bigger than themselves and we are committed to discovering God's best for all of us!

What To Expect If You Visit

Whoever you are, whatever road you have been down, you are welcome here.
  • We offer Sunday morning classes for children Birth - 6th Grade. Upon your arrival please register your child at our information table. Children under 4 are taken immediately to the nursery by their parent. All other children will participate with their parents in our worship gathering for the first 30 minutes and then be dismissed to their classrooms. 
  • The easiest entry door for those with children is the glass double doors at the top of the stairs on the Walnut St side of our building. We do have ramp access at the Northwest corner of our building. This entrance leads immediately into our worship space.
  • Please feel free to contact us via a connect card (Connect Card available above) with any questions.
  • We know that walking into a new church can feel intimidating. So here are some things that we hope will help you be at ease:
    • The majority of folks who attend dress casually; the pastor will probably have jeans on, and we care more about you being here than what you are wearing.
    • We love children. We know that they are often busy, noisy and occasionally naughty. We try hard to offer quality opportunities for our kids to learn in safe (all of our workers have been background checked) and age appropriate environments. And if your family prefers for your children to stay with you while we worship that is totally fine.
    • We believe that those who regularly attend a church should participate financially. We believe that they should give with joy and generosity.  There is no expectation that visitors give. In fact, we don't even pass an offering plate. We have what we call "Joy Boxes" near the doors where folks are encouraged to drop their offering. We also have online/digital giving that can be set up through our app/website.
    • The typical length of a Sunday morning worship gathering is about an hour and fifteen minutes. We start promptly at 10:05am each Sunday. You are encouraged to hang around for a couple of minutes following our time together and meet some new faces.
    • We have a monthly "Journey Family Feast" - this is when everyone, new, established, visiting, regular, member is invited to stay immediately after worship and eat lunch together. The main course is typically provided by the church and folks are encouraged to bring a side or dessert to share.  All are invited to stay and hopefully meet a few new faces.
    • We do have coffee, tea and hot chocolate available in our cafe for anyone who would like a hot drink.
