What kind of church is Journey Church?
Journey Church is an independent non-denominational church. Our body of believers is diverse and comes from many denominations and backgrounds. Journey does partner with denominations, groups, and organizations that offer vital help in assisting us to accomplish our mission in various areas, such as world missions and leadership development.

What are we all about at Journey Church?
Our mission is to help people follow Jesus. We define a follower of Jesus as someone who gets to know Him and responds.

How do I get more connected at Journey Church?
There are several ways to take your next step here at Journey but our primary way of taking your first step is through Starting Point. Starting Point meets monthly to give an overview of our vision, mission, strategy, and values. This class also discusses the doctrine of the church and the membership process. For additional information on how to get more connected at Journey, contact Lisa Bauer.

How do I join Journey Church?
At Journey, we believe that the Bible encourages us to be devoted in fellowship to a local community of believers (Hebrews 10:25). Membership at Journey Church begins by attending Starting Point. There you will learn about the vision and mission of the church. Following Starting Point a person agrees to enter a covenant agreement for one year with the leadership and church body at Journey. This covenant states three things a member must agree to in order to be a member: 1) I am a born again baptized believer, 2) I will serve faithfully at Journey, 3) I will tithe at Journey. The leadership and church members agree to serve one another and to pursue together God’s direction for Journey Church.

What do I do if I need spiritual help in my journey with God?
Fill out your request or question on a Connection Card at one of our weekend services. For more immediate help you can seek out one of the pastors in person or send an e-mail to any of our staff members. You will be given top priority in our schedule because at Journey, we are all about helping people connect with God through Jesus Christ.

How do I get baptized at Journey Church?
The Bible teaches that baptism is the first step of obedience after having placed your faith in Jesus and in His message. It does not have special power to wash away our sins but is a public demonstration of an inward faith in Jesus. We do not baptize infants at Journey Church, but rather we have dedication services for children. If you would like to get baptized at Journey, fill out a Connection Card and one of our pastors will contact you and give you all the details and information you need.

What is available for my children?
Journey Kidz is our weekend ministry to children from infants to 5th grade. We want to provide your children with a loving and caring environment where they can make a real connection with God while at the same time develop friendships with others their age. It all starts with preschool where we begin teaching them simple truths. Uptown is a place for our elementary aged children to come and experience God through engaging in hands-on activities and exciting worship. Everything for infants to 5th grade takes place during the weekend services. We encourage parents to take advantage of our fantastic children’s ministry!

What is available for Middle School and High School students?
We offer both large and small group ministries for students. Middle School students have their own weekend service that typically takes place during our weekend services. Their services are high energy and have both large and small group elements. High School students also meet on the weekend for a large group service that is similar to the Middle School but more age appropriate. High School students also meet during the week for small group bible studies. Our student ministry also places a focus on seasonal events, retreats, camps, and mission trips. Check out our Student Site or contact Smooth Via for more info.

What is the long term vision of Journey Church concerning land and buildings?
Our vision from the beginning has been to have a city-wide impact that would enable us to have a global impact. We feel that this can best be accomplished through the process of multiplication and duplication. Church planting is a strategic focus of Journey Church. Our vision is to plant churches all over the triangle area and together reach this region for Christ.
