Helping people

find and follow Christ.
FRONT AND CENTER
Thank you for choosing a seat toward 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.

DID JESUS EVER GET
REALLY
SUPERHAPPY ?
The answer is absolutely YES! In Luke 10:21, the word translated “full of joy” derives from two Greek words. One means “very much”, the other, “jump or leap”. The emotion Jesus is feeling is what we’d call jumping for joy!
What was He so happy about? Leadership development. The 72 volunteers He’d appointed to serve had just brought back their progress report noting that “even the demons submit to us in your name”. After reminding them not to get distracted by their newfound power, but rather to “rejoice that your names are written in heaven” Jesus jumps for joy before the Father, thanking Him that these leaders are stepping out in truth hidden from the “wise and learned”. No wonder we’re so excited about volunteers and leadership development at Christ Journey! The Journey Awards taking place on Friday night, June 6, is a great celebration of joy for all who serve around here. The Global Leadership Summit, coming August 14-15, is a gotta-b-there event hosted at Christ Journey Coral Gables. Come to both and feel Jesus HAPPY! Yours, for more JOY in the Journey!
LEAD WHERE YOU ARE Join more than 190,000 leaders around the world at The Global Leadership Summit 2014. August 14-15 The Summit is a world-class experience for leaders who want to get better. Everybody has influence and the responsibility to lead well. When cultivated in a culture of Christ-centered leadership, your influence can change lives and the organizations in which you lead. Leaders worldwide leverage the Summit to sharpen their skills and to unleash the full potential of their teams. Don’t delay and sign up today!
