Journey Church

Journey Church was started by a small group of people who wanted to create a Christian community that would authentically welcome people on the journey of faith from any starting point.

In August of 2000, a group of about 20 people known as the Launch Team began to meet weekly to discuss the best way to make the church be relevant, experiential, participatory, and inviting to anyone regardless of their faith background. In those meetings we learned how much Jesus Christ has touched each person's life. Our desire is, and will be, to invite people onto the JOURNEY of becoming fully devoted followers of Christ. Our first public service was January 7, 2001. Our founding pastor was Ken Macken. Pastor Ken stayed with us until December 2002 at which time he felt the Lord leading him in another direction.

Dr. Darrell Yeager became our second pastor in May 2003. Under his leadership Journey Church continued to expand and many joined the family of Christ. A second service was added, improvements were made to the sanctuary, and the elder board was expanded. Dr. Yeager accepted a position in Florida as a staff minister.

On July 3rd, 2005 Jeff and Stephani Allred stepped in as the new pastor's of Journey Church.  At this point the church had an average attendance of 160. By January 2007 the church had doubled to over 300 and launched a second service. As of July 2009, there are over 650 active people attending one of our 3 weekend worship experiences.

In September of 2006, we officially purchased our existing building.  But realized that even with 3 Sunday services we were still running out of room.  In 2008 we purchased 20 acres of land and began designing a new muliti-phase campus that will include a 750 seat worship center and an early learning center for the Christian eduction of children ages 1 year old through fifth grade.
