If you normally give at church in the boxes, you can still give online here. You can also give through Venmo. Our handle is @JourneyChurchWestMI. Thanks for your generosity and giving to the mission.

GROWTH PATHWAY
The Growth Pathway is a series of next steps to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. It's not a list of tasks to complete, instead, it's a guide to give some direction to continue to move forward in your faith. Find the guide here.
