Love God

​

First and most importantly we believe everyone is in desperate need of a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We seek to help people Love God by doing Sunday services in real, relevant, and engaging ways so that the Gospel of Jesus is center stage every week. JOIN US for a service or email us to set up a time to talk to a leader to find out more about how you can have a relationship with God.

 

Connect People

​

It doesn’t end there though. So much of what God has to offer through His church happens after Sunday service is over and we share our lives with one another. Our ministries are designed to connect people with one another. Check out our Connect Page to see how you can get plugged in.

 

Transform the World

​

To heal the brokenness in our world we believe Jesus calls us beyond events and donations and into relational ministry with those around us from our neighborhoods to the nations. Locally, we partner with and support organizations who help us plug our people into the lives of those in need.

​

• The Restore Network- Exists to bring healing to vulnerable children by equipping the church to engage the foster system in Illinois. They raise up families who will bear the burden of brokenness through fostering or adopting and they recruit support teams to walk alongside and meet the needs of those who. Email rbird@therestorenetwork.org to find out more.

• Mentoring- We are in the process of developing programs to connect people with kids in our community who could use a positive relationship as well as adults who are in recovery. To volunteer to be a mentor email info@thejourneysi.org.

• International Missions- We want to take the same mindset of relational ministry and apply it to the unreached people groups of the world by partnering with local, indigenous leaders and missionaries to bring the gospel to people who have not yet heard. Email info@thejourneysi.org to find out how you can get involved through going on an upcoming short term trip or giving to support missionaries on the ground.
