PATHWAY CLASSES
How do we navigate and live in a confusing and confounding culture while trying to follow a countercultural Jesus? Perhaps a passage in Paul’s letter to the Philippians can help us. From that passage an ancient Christian tradition developed which helped followers of Jesus determine how to flourish in any culture: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. By studying Scripture, looking at art, listening to music, discussing film and much more, we will explore how these three objective ideas can help us navigate our culture in a way that is absolutely winsome and yet countercultural.

Our Journey
Sundays 9:00 – 10:30 AM, Plaza Room
April 21 – May 26 Sign up HERE
Our Journey Workshops are the best way to get connected in this large community we call Journey. During our six interactive sessions we will explore the ESSENTIAL relationships, practices and experiences that will enable you to get the most out of all that we have to offer in our community at Journey. The sixth session provides a chance to learn about opportunities at Journey for small groups, classes and serving, as well as to discern your next step on our community’s Pathway of movement toward Jesus as His disciples.
What We’re Made For: Finding God in Everyday Life Wednesdays 6:30 – 7:45 PM, The Plaza Room
April 15 – May 6
We will do a verse by verse break down throughout the four weeks of the entire book of Jonah (don’t worry it’s only 4 chapters and 48 verses.) What we are sure to recognize through our time together and study is that there is more than meets the eye as we begin to unpack it! You will learn the tools, habits, and systems to becoming a great Bible reader.

Yoga Faith
Monday’s 6:30PM and Thursdays, 9 –10:30 AM, Corner Room
The Bible says in Acts 17:18, “For in HIM we live and move and have our being.” The word yoga means “to yoke” or “unite.” In Yoga Faith, we “yoke” ourselves to the Trinity as scriptures are spoken over us while being guided through breath prayers and postures. We create a safe space for whatever God has for you. All levels and genders and welcome and no prior experience is necessary. Come as you are! No need to sign up. More info >
