Why are you a part of Journey Fellowship Church?
Because I believe that this church has been called by God to lead people to Jesus, strengthen families, and transform a community and I want to be right in the middle of all that God is doing right here and right now.

I see JFC moving into the community and working to bring the love of Jesus to people who have never even thought about God or church. I see us becoming a people whose lives are a mission rather than a mundane existence.
