CHRISTMAS AT JOURNEY
We invite you to join us at 6 PM on Wednesday December 24th for a Christmas Eve Worship Service filled with music, Scripture, and candlelight. No matter where you are in your faith, no matter how you feel about Jesus…you are welcome at Journey. We’re trusting God to reveal His love to you through the birth of His Son!
*Note: Christmas @ Journey will also be available online via livestream.
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS OFFERING
If you've been around Journey for any length of time, you know that giving is just what we do! Out of the overflow of God's generosity to us, we extend generosity to others. Our annual Christmas Offering is in full swing, and 100% of it goes to four amazing organizations: D.N.A. (Daily Needs Assistance) in Plain City, OH, Hope Center in Union County, OH, House of Mercy Orphanage in Piedas Negras, Mexico, and church partnerships in Nairobi, Kenya.
We invite you to prayerfully give to this year's Christmas Offering and help bless the work God is already doing in each of these ministries. You can give at any time throughout November and December 2025.
Thank you for partnering with us this Christmas season and for being the Church beyond the building!
*Be sure to select the “Christmas Offering - 2025" drop down option to designate your gift.

Sunday December 28th: Online Worship Service
On Sunday 12/28, Journey is practicing two things: hospitality and rest! We are giving our staff and volunteer teams a Sunday off to recover from the holiday craziness, so we will not meet in person for a worship gathering on 12/28. But, we will post an online worship service video on our Facebook (click here) and YouTube (click here) channels. We encourage JCC members to invite neighbors, friends, and family over to watch the online service and worship from home while still being in community. Enjoy resting and sharing Jesus with your loved ones!
