Journey Serves

Community Impact

We think Christ-followers should be passionate about making this world a better place — that focusing all our energy on ourselves is a waste of time. We think that rather than trying to be the best church in the community, we should be the best church for the community.

When Jesus showed up on the scene, he said that he was all about “good news for the poor.” So, like him, we want to spread good news for the poor, the dejected, the unseen, the broken, the wounded, the outcasts. Through Journey Serves, we hope to spread good news by feeding people, clothing people, assisting the sick, helping people back on their feet, cleaning up our local parks, and supporting our local schools.
