Here at The Journey we take church membership very seriously. We do not view membership as simply being on some list in the church office. Membership is about joining a family that is united in belief and purpose in order to experience Christ and share Him with the world. Members at The Journey are united theologically. We share common views about God and his Word. We are also united in our mission and philosophy, which stem from our theology, and justify our existence as a local church. Finally, our values lead us to be united in our mission to St. Louis and to the world. Members fight for unity so that we can faithfully live out the Gospel together for the sake of the world. Membership is our pathway to unity. Membership is also the pathway for people to be equipped. It is a way of creating more room to include, empower, and release people. It provides a platform for people to grow in their love for God and in their service to others. Membership pushes us to be authentic to our mission and become a diverse community, learning to embrace and love those who are not like us. It provides accountability for the leadership, and for the people they serve. We also commit to practicing our faith together rather than isolation. Our membership process will begin this spring with a Newcomer Dinner scheduled for Wednesday, February 16, 2011. If you have any questions, please email infoHR@journeyon.net.
