Unfortunately, the division between faith-based communities and the community we live in will continue to rise. The global church has a bad reputation of what it stands against, rather than what it stands for. Journey Ministries has a desire to change that narrative. We want to be known by what we are for. We are for the good news of Jesus Christ. We are for people. We are for hard questions. We are for kids and youth. We are for growth in personal relationships with our Lord and among one another. We are for hope and purpose. We are for generosity. We are for love. We are for community. We are for these things because we believe God is for these things. Here is how the apostle Paul said it, Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Yes. We could stop and be content with where we are, but as the Pastor of Journey Ministries, let me just say…. No way! I know God is continuing to help us and guide us as we Journey Forward. We believe God’s purpose for Journey includes a multifunctional and community-focused facility to be used as a physical enabler of our mission, increasing our capacity for ministry and community events.
I look forward to this journey together.

Imagining how these propsed spaces will fit together within the newly expanded footprint of the Journey Center can be difficult. These illustrations (by Frank Realmuto) show some possibilities for the floorplan of the new Journey Center in downtown Davison. The specifics of the design might change over time, but it's amazing to see a few ways it might work together! Yay God! The current Journey Center layout would be redistributed within the new floorplan, dramatically increasing the capacity for minitry and community events.

Not An Equal Share But An Equal Sacrifice
Each household is gifted in differing measure financially, and each family circumstance is unique. For these reasons, generosity looks different for every individual at Journey Ministries. So, another way to think about “Not an equal share, but an equal sacrifice” is “not equal portions, but equal generosity.”
Through joining us in an intentional time of prayer, asking, “God, what do you want to do though me?” we trust that every family in our church will be able to discover God’s direction for participating in the Journey Forward campaign. What will your part be?
