Did you know there are 1.8 million people living in a 30-mile radius of our Newark location? It’s an area we call “Journey City,” and we have a dream to reach people all across our region to help more people find Jesus and follow him fully.
We see the need to put our focus on three things: serve those near us who need us, empower leaders to lead the way, and extend our reach digitally.
Our Code Red team has recognized that there’s a scarcity of nutritious food on the tables of families in our surrounding communities. We are enclosing the loading dock on the back of the building of our Newark location to turn it into a food distribution area that will help provide people with better quality food.
Jesus said the harvest is great and the workers are few (Matthew 9:37). We are investing in more scholarships for our Potential Leadership Intensive and partnering with Highlands College to raise up leaders for the fields of ministry, not just here but around the country to reach the world.
As we continue to grow our online church family and provide a unique experience online, it requires additional technology and equipment to give our church the best experience possible. There’s no better way to reach Journey City right now than digitally — We’re launching a full online location in 2021, where people can gather, connect, and serve, taking next steps throughout our region.
