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 are focusing on serving those near us who need us within Journey City, both physically and spiritually. Through our Journey City Expansion fund, we plan to do that in 3 ways:
One humble act of serving at a time, we reach those who feel as if they have no voice and no hope. We will let our good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise our heavenly Father. The biggest need in our community continues to be access to quality food — and we want to change that by stocking our food distribution center on the back of our Newark location. There is an unlimited need. We are only limited by our funds to be able to meet that need.
Everything we do matters for one reason: to see the kingdom of God advance. This happens as The Journey grows. We don’t just create environments to maintain our church: we do it to see the kingdom come and God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Through additional communication, marketing, and digital strategies, we plan to increase awareness throughout our region.
As we continue to grow, we will keep creating environments for people to find Jesus and follow him fully in person and online. In the fall of 2021, we’re launching a full online location where people can gather, connect, and serve, taking next steps throughout our region.
