Helping people
WEEKEND
find and follow Christ.
FRONT AND CENTER
Thank you for choosing a seat to the front and center of the Auditorium when we come together to worship as a community. This helps your mind and heart remain engaged as others discreetly find open seating in the back once the service has begun.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we are excited to walk together with you. If you’re new, we’d like to give you a free gift, (no strings attached), just stop by a host station.
JOIN A GROUP
Groups provide a place to belong & a path for spiritual growth. We offer different kinds of groups, meeting at a variety of times & locations. More information at ChristJourney.org/Groups or email Groups@ChristJourney.org.
WE LOVE KIDS
From the earliest stages, we reinforce God’s truth in every child. Weekly, kids get involved in a wide range of exciting, creative, & age-appropriate environments. Music, drama, & storytelling capture the imagination & small groups help the Bible come alive in Discovery Land for preschoolers & Highway for elementary kids. For more info about these exciting ministries, visit ChristJourney.org/Kids.

“Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16 NIV). When we take communion, we participate with Jesus both personally & spiritually. We’re reminded of His unmerited favor & forgiveness. As we share Communion in all of our Weekend Experiences on Apr 27, we’ll remember that He’s not ashamed of us; rather, He loves us.

COMMUNION
Haven’t we all had times we feel this way? Someone or something claiming to be “Christian” gives us reason to keep our distance. Yet somehow, we know Jesus must be other than that! In this challenging three-week series, we’ll tackle some of the most common barriers people in Miami say are the ones that keep them away from “Christians.” Perhaps you’ve heard and felt them, too. “Christians are such hypocrites.” “They’re no fun.” “Too many rules.” “They’re so judgmental.” But we won’t leave it with the complaint. Our desire at Christ Journey, though we’re far from perfect, is to help all who search for happiness find hope through the Easter joy Jesus brings! Our new series starts on Easter Weekend, April 19/20, and runs through May 4.
