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.  

SUNDAYS IN MARCH

THE WAY TO SHARE YOUR FAITH: Sundays March 3, 10 & 17 at 9:30 & 11:00 am
Does talking about God seem scary? Do you feel awkward and unsure about sharing your faith? We are joining together with our Collaborating Churches for this series. We'll be looking in the book of Acts for some insight into ways to share our faith. 

EASTER WEEK
On March 24, Palm Sunday, we will begin Easter Week as we remember all Jesus has done for us and celebrate the resurrection and Easter Sunday.
We have a combined Good Friday Service with communion and reflections on the cross at Venture Church on March 29 from 7-8 pm.
Easter Sunday is March 31. We will have two identical gatherings at 9:30 & 11:00 am. Invite someone to join you. More details here.
