Helping people
WEEKEND
find and follow Christ.
FRONT AND CENTER
Thank you for choosing a seat to the front & center of the Auditorium when we come together to worship as a community. This helps your mind & heart remain engaged as others discreetly find open seating in the back once the experience 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.

COMMUNION
“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.

TRADUCCIÓN DEL MENSAJE
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.
