First Visit

Here’s what you can expect when you visit our church:

Journey Church exists for three reasons: To equip people to grow and mature in a relationship with God and each other, while meeting the needs of our community in practical, tangible ways. That’s it! It is that simple. You won’t find a myriad of programs or a crowded calendar of activities, you will simply find a group of people who are passionate about God, who are committed to one another and who desire to make a difference in the Hudson Valley.

Relevant, Practical Teaching – Preaching should never be boring! As Christ-followers, we have the most exciting message in the world to deliver. At the Journey, we desire to present the age-old truths of scripture in a culturally relevant, yet biblically-sound manner. Our messages always seek to draw us closer to God, equip us in life’s journey, and encourage us to demonstrate kindness and the heart of God with people in our lives.

Authentic People – Our services aren’t filled with perfect people who are “too spiritually minded for their own earthly good.” Rather, they are filled with real people, experiencing real problems, who have found strength, comfort and peace in God.

Friendly Environments – Church is not about buildings or denominations – it is about people. We love people and are excited to have the opportunity to meet our neighbors in the community. When you walk in the doors of the Journey, you will be greeted with a warm smile and genuine care. Throughout your visit you will encounter authentic people who truly  desire to bless and encourage you on your journey.

Passionate Worship – At the Journey, we believe that worship is about more than music…it is about experiencing God in an intimate way. As a result, we have designed our worship services in such a manner that people can express freely their need for Him. There is no “right way” to worship, and as such, we encourage people to simply express their love to God in a way that is comfortable and familiar to them.
