Did you know that the very first priority that informed our mission here at Journey is the priority of people’s relationship with Jesus Christ. Everything we do should point people toward Jesus. You know it…To invite and lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
And what it takes to make that happen every Sunday is a handful of committed and dedicated Jesus followers. People who understand that it’s not about making sure that people believe everything we believe, it’s not about what’s in it for us, it’s not about serving in an “easy” role, it’s not about helping people “behave” correctly, and it’s not about flash and fanfare.
It’s about everyone grabbing a serving role, a place to be a smile, a wave, a creative element, a greeting, an influencer, a leader, a connector, a demonstration of love…all to create an entire experience, from the street to the seat, that is so irresistible that people will come back week after week. When that happens, over time, we can lead them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
And that, my friends, is why what you do is SO IMPORTANT. Thank you for your service!
