Journeys
New to journeys? start with our newcomers class at 6:30pm in the library each tuesday after worship.
A safe Place to Connect
Our Journeys mission is for everyone to find a safe place to belong, recover from a season of hardship, and receive hope and healing from Jesus Christ. Through our Journeys worship, large groups, and small life groups adults, kids, and youth find that they are not alone in their hardships. We walk alongside each other with support each Tuesday night.
“I will lead by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.” ~Isaiah 42:16
*Free childcare for those participating in Journeys is available for infants and children through 5 years old not yet in kindergarten. *
