2 WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY! 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. Our mission is... LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, LOVE THE WORLD At The Journey, we are focused on making disciples whose love for Jesus impacts 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.
