Why Now?
The Journey Church began as a church here in New York City in 2002. As we reflect on all that God has done in and through our church – including over 3,200 baptisms, countless lives changed, thousands of needs met and millions of people shown God’s love in meaningful ways – it is time to dream big about what God might have in store in 2025.
If not now, when? God has blessed our church and we have grown spiritually and numerically. Now is the time to dream big dreams and to begin preparing The Journey for ministry in NYC for generations to come.
