 WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY

Welcome to Journey Church. You can get a religious experience anywhere. We focus on taking steps in our relationships and we believe that God wants to have a personal relationship with you. We want to encourage you to explore or take steps to experience more of God. In Him, we find our best life. If you're new to Journey Church, fill out the guest card here. We will send you a gift card to thank you for joining us and promise not to harass you. You can use the online connect card here to submit a prayer request, request any assistance, or take a next step.  

CHRISTMAS LISTS SERIES: SUNDAYS DECEMBER 1, 8 & 15

We have lots of lists in the Christmas season: Shopping Lists, Guest Lists, Wish Lists, Baking Lists, To-Do Lists, and more. There is a big list at the beginning of the Christmas Story in the Bible. It's a list of names for the family tree of Jesus. In this series, we are exploring the people on this list and how their stories can give us a meaningful Christmas.
