TRANSCRIPT
Thank you for choosing to worship with us today! As a church family, we are
determined 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 contributes to making God’s church that much more relevant
in this world. So no matter 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 im-
pacts 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 people 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 WORLDLOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, LOVE THE WORLDLOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, LOVE THE WORLDLOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, LOVE THE WORLD
Our mission is...
