About Journey

A church for people
still figuring it out.

We’re committed to helping people begin and grow in their relationship with Jesus, whether you’ve been in church your whole life or are just starting to ask questions.

Who We Are

Mission, vision, values.

Mission

Reach wider. Walk deeper.

To reach wider into our community with the love of Jesus and walk deeper with God and each other.

Vision

A lifestyle, not an event.

We live our mission through a lifestyle of worship, discipleship, and relationship.

Values

Unity. Liberty. Love.

In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love.

What We Believe

The short version.

We’re a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching church. Everything we do flows from Scripture. Here’s the summary: click any line for the unpacking.

God
One living and true God in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. Creator of all, source of life and love.Genesis 1:1 · Matthew 28:19 · 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
The Son of God, equal with the Father and the Spirit. Lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose again after three days, and will return as King. Through Him: forgiveness and new life.John 1:1–14 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · Revelation 20
The Holy Spirit
God with us today. Convicts us of our need for Jesus, lives within every believer, gives spiritual gifts, empowers us to live faithfully.John 16:7–13 · Acts 1:8 · Galatians 5:25
The Bible
God’s Word: inspired, trustworthy, authoritative. It reveals God’s plan and guides us in how to live faithfully.2 Timothy 3:16 · 2 Peter 1:3
Humanity
Every person is made in God’s image and deeply loved. We’re capable of great good and also broken by sin, which separates us from God and each other.Genesis 1:26 · Romans 3:10 · Romans 5:12
Salvation
A free gift from God through Jesus. Not earned by good works; received by grace through faith. When we trust Jesus, we’re forgiven, made new, and given eternal life.John 14:6 · Romans 6:23 · Ephesians 2:8–9
