Thanks for stopping by The Journey website. We are glad that you are interested in what new churches are doing and we hope you will learn much about our new church as you "journey" through our site and its links.
We believe that "The Journey" is an image for today and relates well to the process of the Christian faith. Think of some of the automobiles today and their names - Odyssey, Pathfinder, Explorer, Expedition - they all are journey images. Consider the Amtrak ad, "The journey is more important than the destination." Again, here is a journey image. And how many tune in week after week to Survivor, to follow the journeys of those trying to win the million dollars. Journey is an image we are familiar with.
The journey also can be used to describe our walk with God. When one begins to seek God, you begin a journey of faith. It will have its ups and downs, but it will also be tremendously exciting and challenging. Our mission is to call people to journey with God through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that it is Jesus Christ alone who makes our journeys meaningful and purposeful, and He alone gives us a destination worth journeying toward.
You can learn a good deal about us through this web site, but we must also admit that a website can't tell you everything. The church is people, and until you get to know the people of The Journey, you can't really understand what motivates their ministry. So we would encourage you - if anything here stimulates your curiosity, come and join us for worship some week and meet the people of The Journey. We are trying a new thing and we believe God is richly blessing. Enjoy your journey through our site!
