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.
FREE!

MEET & GREET
Every Week! Are you a guest here at Christ Journey? Been visiting for 1, 2 or 3+ weeks? If you’re looking to connect just a little bit more and are willing to stay for a quick 15 minute meet and greet with our campus pastor then we invite you to join us in the connection cafe. No registration required! JUST SHOW UP! We look forward to meeting you. We hold the meet and greet every week after both worship experiences. Stay for a bit and see what the excitement is all about. P.S. If you have kids, don’t worry...they are welcome to join you or you can feel free to leave your children in their classes until after the meet and greet is finished.
STARTUP
Once a month! Ready to take the next step and become a member of Christ Journey? Then StartUp is for you. It’s a new member orientation that will explain what being a member at Christ Journey is all about. We host the class once a month right here on the campus during the 1st worship experience at 10a. To register or find out more visit ChristJourney.org/StartUp.
BAPTISM
The journey with Jesus leads to a public demonstration of your faith and we call that baptism. Being baptized is a celebration of your faith in Jesus and a willingness to share it with your world. We are regularly scheduling baptisms at Christ Journey Country Walk and if you are interested in learning more then let us know at ChristJourney.org/Baptism.
GROUPS
Are you looking for a way to connect more than just Sunday mornings? Want to belong to a group? Is Bible study, prayer, and encouragement something that you feel is missing from your life? Then join a group! Visit ChristJourney. org/Groups and select Country Walk and choose from one of our many groups just for you.

YOUVERSION LIVE
Feelings are pervasive in human beings. Emotions can be rich with joy filled with energy and wonder. They can also be threatening, fearful and even destructive. Some people try to avoid them. Others “wear them on their sleeve”. In our new teaching series discover how ancient wisdom and resurrection power combine to offer Christ followers a way to feeling good. Journey with us toward a higher quality of emotional intelligence that offers increased success at home, work and play. Messages include: “Choosing Higher Ground” with guest, David Ring; “Rising Above the Negative;” “Empowering the Positive;” and “Set Free by Forgiveness.” (Scripture text: Colossians 3:1-17)

Worship + Arts = Ministry Christ Journey exists to help people find and follow Christ. The Worship Arts Ministry (friends call us W.A.M.) is an extension of that purpose and is on mission to win as many as possible as soon as possible by the most effective means possible. What could God choose to do with a team who shows up with the confidence that God has something important to do through them? That’s what is possible for Worship Arts Ministry at Christ Journey - each weekend, those who serve and those who are being served have an encounter with God and are changed. In simple addition: Worship + Arts = Ministry.

Creativity is a virtue, accessible to anybody made in the image of the Creator. God is a creative artist, and we all bear His image. What that leaves then for us to be, is available. Are you looking for a place to use your skills in bearing the image of the Most High, most creative God? Worship Arts Ministry has open positions, some visible, and some invisible, but all purposed with the expectation that God has something important to do when we come together. The opportunities are great. You can make them even greater.

FAMILIES
We believe people (including kids!) grow best in community. For kids, this includes the communities they have at church and at home. This is why we have carefully designed fun environments for babies through elementaryage kids and their parents. Our caring volunteers give kids a solid understanding of the Bible and of how much God loves them. And for parents we provide tools that help them continue at home the conversations that start at church.

We have a Tiffany lamp in our home. It’s a favorite of mine. Its canopy shade is formed from broken bits of colored glass molded together. At first glance it doesn’t look like much. But turn the light on and, voila. Its beauty charms me every time. I love to leave that light on. It speaks to me of Christian leadership. Paul wrote, “We have this treasure in jars of clay,” (2 Corinthians 4:7). Earthy vessels, easily broken. Yet God chooses to let His all-surpassing “light shine in our hearts”, revealing His glory through us. Now there’s a definition of Christ-like leadership: Yielding my brokenness to the tender care of God for the benefit of others. I’m so thankful for every ministry leader, both staff and volunteer, at Christ Journey Church. I think God must love to leave those lights on.
Bill White Senior Pastor P.S. Big congrats to our Pastor to Students, Anthony Gonzalez and bride-to-be Brittany! Wedding day this month – Oct 18!!!
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12, NIV
