Local Missions

We believe that you are never more like Jesus than when you are serving others. At Journey, we are constantly reminding disciples of Jesus to be His hands and feet where you live, work, study, play, and shop. Every believer has the great privilege and responsibility to saturate our city with the gospel.

If you are ready to act on what God is telling you — whether as individuals or as an MC — check out the list of opportunities below. Once you have decided where you would like to serve, click the button below to let us know. Someone on our team will communicate with you shortly.
