There are Lifegroups or small groups to be involved with that are available on any night of the week to fit your schedule. This community of people has been such a support to us in so many ways. Our lifegroup has stood with us through loss of family members, sickness and cancer, joys and sorrows. Truly like family. There are people of all kinds and it is a very inclusive, accepting church. Celebrate Recovery is available on Friday nights and includes a free dinner. This is for anyone struggling with hurts, habits or hang-ups that wants to have a safe place to come. Child care and children's events and programs are amazing. Sunday night and Wednesday night Youth programs. Wednesday night Care groups for those that are walking through grief, divorce, want support for parenting, growth in their marriages, Financial Peace University and more. They have childcare on both Wednesday nights and Friday nights also. Church services stream online live or after service times on YouTube or Vimeo. There is a homeless shelter ministry with art therapy, work in the community to paint bus benches in the town, disaster relief teams that go to help in areas of need and so much more. Two services Sunday mornings at 9am and 10:45. Come meet me usually at the second service

You'll always hear Christ and the finished work on the Cross emphasized. Worship Leader Eric does a great job too, you can see his sincere heart for God. Bigger churches will always have at least a bit of a "production" feel but when you get to know people here you'll find them to be sincere and down to earth. I appreciate that the Southern Baptist Convention does not sway with the culture, one of the few denominations out there that doesn't it seems. Good to know there are some churches left that still aren't afraid to call sin for what it is and that Christ is the only answer to a fallen world that is only drifting further and further away.

I love that the music is contemporary but still incorporate some classic Catholic songs. Full band including percussion, bass guitar, electric guitar, piano, vocals. Everyone in my family, my teenagers, my 10-year-olds, my wife and I love the music. The homilies are great too especially if they are given by Fr. Gerald or Fr. Mark. The only reason why I didn't give five stars is because the church itself is very tired and a little dreary. I think they are going under renovations for the church hall but I hope they eventually renovate the inside of the church itself.

We have visited twice now (once when services were being held outdoors and once when they were…read moremoved indoors with social distancing protocols in place), and both times we were struck by the kindness and welcome of the staff and the congregation. There are so many families with young children here, and the church as a whole seems to have a heart for young people. I saw teenagers supporting one another in outdoor discussions, and taking their faith walks very seriously. The Family Room is a separate space where the service is projected on a screen. Little ones can roam a bit and play with some sensory toys while parents worship and hear the sermon. This was the first time in ages that I haven't been a tense little ball of stress as my children make noise in the service. It was such a relief, and I really got to listen, for the first time in maybe...three years? The sermon was so personally convicting. We all need to be doing what we can to live in genuine community with one another. Right now. Even if we're new in town, or shy, and even if it feels difficult to start. If you're looking for a lovely bunch of people with a long history of loving one another this would be a good place to visit.

This review is LONG time OVERDUE as I wrestled with God for several years of constant praying! (Gen…read more32, 1 Thessalonians 5:14) I rarely write reviews on Churches. But, for some reason I was compelled by the leading of the Holy Spirit in writing this one. I have attending this church on and off for about 4-5 years because at that time I was new to the area and was looking for (in prayer) a home Church. I left because I had Surgery and was unable to do anything for several months including driving so I swallowed my pride, took the advise of other godly people (Proverbs 11:14) with deep love & compassion reached out to Journey Church of which I have been attending at that time for help (Pastor Scott and then by Pastors direction Lisa) for Any help they could graciously offer would have been appreciated. (I live about 5 minutes from the church) When I first attended Lisa had no problem coming to my home and placing a Journey sign without asking permission in front of my home, which HOA later made me take down. But, when I was in need (Because of surgery) for any help perhaps taking me to church since I could not drive, cooking a meal or any other need they were willing to provide (I was not picky or demanding in ANYWAY) There are several Bible verses that says we should Help each other especially in time of need with love (The Book of James 2:14-17; 1 John 3:17; Deuteronomy 15:7-11; Galatians 5:13; Micah 6:8; Zechariah 7:9 and the list goes on) But, instead of help in ANYWAY Pastor Scott sent me a message telling me to stop bothering it's members! First off, I wasn't bothering anybody and just following the churches direction and second where is the love and compassion? I was suffering in pain from a surgery I just had and needed a little help. Its not like I live far or asking for money or anything like that I just needed a little help, compassion, love, prayers, or anything they could do was all appreciated but, when I read his message my heart just sank and others I showed (I just wanted clarification If I was reading his message correctly) The Bible says seek the advise of others (Proverbs 11:14; 27:17; 12:15) Their eyes practically came out of their head. Needless to say I left. In reading Ephesians 4:32 believing everyone deserves a second or more + chances to explain what they meant by their text, forgiveness, not to be offended, shake hands ETC.. I made appointment with Pastor Scott to talk about what happened when I had surgery and about that text message I received from him as I read too him the message for clarification. I had a lets move on mentality so I can perhaps be a part of their church family and see where I can fit in because my kids enjoyed going there and it was incredibly close to my home so I felt I could really help and be a part of the church family But, Instead when I made the appointment to talk with Pastor Scott in his office I was meet with an attitude of "I was bothering him" , "We don't help people" and "What do you/I want"? there were no miss-understanding, He meant what he said in his text message, I was unable to ask it's church members for anything and the look on his face was one of the "What do you need"? You're not a member of our church and we only help members! WOW! Needless to say I won't be back and for those considering Journey, remember this, that everything is fine as long as you don't ask the church for any help or needs (Big or small) and you never see the True heart of the church, pastors or it's leaders until that need arises. (Disclaimer: This is my opinion based on my personal experience.)
