What can I expect at the meet and greet before service?
Feel free to join us any time between 10 AM – 10:45 AM on Sunday mornings for a Meet and Greet. You can enter the Youth Center/Fellowship Hall entrance in the middle of the big building behind the sanctuary.
As you walk in you will be met by one of our Connections team greeters who can direct you as needed. Our Connections Team will point you to the Sanctuary, Nursery, restrooms, the Youth Center and our Fellowship Hall/Café and provide you with some other important information that may be helpful to you. It’s a perfect time to have a cup of coffee too. Whether you have been around church for years or if this is all new to you, we want you to enjoy yourself and get involved at a level you are comfortable with.
At 10:45 AM, everyone generally heads to the Sanctuary to get ready for the Service.
What takes place during the church service?
Whether you have been around church for years or if this is all new, we want you to feel welcomed and comfortable at The Journey Church.
Our contemporary praise and worship and atmosphere is very casual, so come as you are. Services start at 11 AM with worship and transition through announcements before entering into prayers and offering. Right before the start of the main praise and worship sets, we have something called “Connect” time. This is a time when many of the people at Journey will stand and greet one another and welcome any newcomers. The goal of this connection time is to give everyone a chance to meet someone they may not know or to get to know someone they do know better. After the praise and worship, our pastor will share a sermon.
What happens at the end of the service?
We believe that time at the altar is very important and we often open the altars after each sermon for prayer. There is no pressure to take part in this alter time but it is a chance for you to receive special prayer if there is a need you have.
What Happens After Church?
Please feel free to hang around at the altar with Jesus or in the sanctuary and join in fellowship with the rest of our church.
Our team will still be available after services for any questions you may have and our pastors would love to connect and get to know you more!
What If I have Kids?
You are welcome to have them with you in service but we do provide ministries that are tailored to each age level, from infant to 12 years old. These include nursery from 1-3 years old and Journey Kids Church, ages 4 - 12 years old. Nursery age children can be dropped off at the nursery between 10:45 – 11 AM.
We do not want them to miss out on any of the exciting activities we have planned for them in our Journey Kids Church, located in the back of the ministry building in the Youth Center. If you are unfamiliar with our kid's ministries our Connections team will be ready to help you find your way and explain how it all works.
What Should I Wear?
Come as you are! We are excited to have you join us whether it is your Sunday best, worn jeans, or something in between. Our heart is people, not perfection.
