Who helped start the church?
The Journey was started by a group of people from Church of The Chimes in San Jose. This group, known as the Launch Team, has been meeting since May of 2001.

What does a typical service look like?
We meet in the Pioneer High School Auditorium. The atmosphere is laid-back and non “churchy.” People dress like they normally do. We have a full band and large projection screen on the stage for multi-media. Basically…it looks and feels good! The experience is usually about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Do you provide Sunday school for children?
One word… Journeyland! Our children’s program is a comprehensive program providing a fun, encouraging, relational, and spiritually stimulating atmosphere for our youngsters. We provide a wonderful nursery and programs for children through 5th grade during the service time.

Do you ask for money?
We are upfront about the whole money issue! The Journey is a non-profit organization that exists on contributions. The people who are already connected to The Journey believe in our purpose, feel like The Journey is truly meaningful to them, and they give generously. WE NEVER TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE GIVE! Giving from the heart is good…giving out of guilt is bad. We commit 10% of every dollar given to us to help our community and world. Our financial books are open and audited regularly.

How will the Journey address the needs of the community?
The Journey is committed to full involvement in the community. Whether that is cleaning parks and graffiti, serving in a convalescent home, feeding the needy, or helping out single mothers, we are here to make a positive difference in our community.

Who can come?
The Journey welcomes everyone…no matter where they are spiritually or what church background they do (or don’t) have. We have seekers and skeptics, we have people who doubt God’s existence and those who are there just to ask questions.
