On Wednesday, December 24, we'll host 3 Christmas Eve Candlelight Services, and we'd love for you and your family to join us!

2:00pm

4:00pm

6:00pm

These will be 45-minute family services.

(Activity bags for kids will be provided.)

ASL interpretation will be available at the 6:00pm service.

On the last Sunday of the year, December 28, we're having "Church on the Couch." This year, you have 2 options... 

1) you can watch the livestream online, or...

2) you can join us in-person for a very simple worship service. 

This family service will start at 10:00am, and it will be incredibly simple as we give our J-Teamers and Staff a Sunday to just be together and worship with their families. 

To watch the livestream, you'll want to have the Journey app or CLICK HERE! (You can also watch a replay of the service later through the Journey app.)

Sunday, January 4, will be First Fruits Sunday. That's the Sunday we give away 100% of our offering to our missions. We ask that you prayerfully consider a gift to First Fruits that is above and beyond your regular giving.

If you'd like to make a year-end gift to Journey Christian Church, please do so by 11:59pm on December 31. If you're mailing a check as year-end gift, please make sure it is post-marked by December 31. Thank you for your continued support of Journey and its mission to journey in Christ, with the Church, and for the community.

Our J-Team is in NEED of more people willing to serve... #WithTheChurch & #ForTheCommuntiy!

Everything we do at Journey happens because of J-Teamers...people like you.

When you say yes to the J-Team, you are saying yes to:

- more people being served and loved

- the Gospel message being spread

- lives being changed now and for eternity

- and so much more!

We invite you to test-drive any one of our teams, train you, and then together we can continue carrying out Journey's God-given mission to journey in Christ, with the Church, and for the community...and we'll be better because YOU are on the team!!!

This January, we will be collecting books to support the Journey Christian Institute in Kenya.

We will be collecting NEW or gently-used books that are strong resources for Christian study — including (but not limited to): commentaries, theology, discipleship, leadership, biblical studies, spiritual formation, and ministry preparation.

Hang on to those books for now, and we'll start collecting them in January!

Journey will have limited office hours December 25-January 4. If you reach out, we appreciate your patience, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
