WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
If you are visiting with us, you are our honored guest and we have special parking close to the main entrance just for you! Parking is also available at any open slot in the parking lot and around adjacent buildings.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THE WORSHIP MUSIC?
We worship with a blend of modern songs and hymns that are theologically rich and great for congregational singing. Lyrics to each song are provided on our large viewing screen. We encourage you to join with us in raising our voices to Praise our Lord!
HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
It's a casual atmosphere and we dress that way so come as you are! Expect to feel welcomed and accepted, not embarassed or judged. We love what we do and it would be a pleasure to share it with you.
WILL YOU HAVE COMMUNION?
Yes! We share communion the First Sunday of the Month during worship.
WILL I BE ABLE TO FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER BELIEVERS?
Yes! We encourage everyone to arrive by 10 AM to have fellowship before the service starts. We welcome you to chat with other believers over coffee and pastries in Common Grounds. You are also welcome to stay and fellowship after the service!
WHAT ARE "COMMON GROUNDS" AND "GATHERING PLACE"?
Common Grounds
This is our fellowship area with tables and a kitchen. Three bathrooms (one handicap accessible) are located in Common Grounds and in the back hallway.
Gathering Place
This additional area is used as a classroom during service. It is also used as an extension of our fellowship area during large events.
DO YOU OFFER CHILDREN'S MINISTRY?
Yes! At Journey of Faith Fellowship, we call our children's ministry KidsMin.
Sundays
Toddlers through high schoolers are welcome. Check-in begins at 10:10 AM in the KidsMin hallway off the sanctuary. If you choose to keep your child with you during worship, they will gather right after worship (before the sermon) and be escorted to class.
The last Sunday of every month, KidsMin is closed to allow our childcare workers to join the service. We encourage children to join their parent or guardian in the sanctuary during worship and the sermon.
Sparks: Ages 1-4
Seekers: Ages 5-8
Explorers: Ages 9 and up
Each child must be checked-in before service and checked-out after service by their parent or guardian. All of our KidsMin workers and volunteers go through a background check and training to enable them to teach age-appropriate Bible lessons. We teach children about God at a level they can understand.
For first time guests, we suggest you Pre-Register for KidsMin to make check-in faster.
Wednesdays
Toddlers through middle schoolers are welcome in the Gathering Place for songs of worship and praise, a lesson, and fun games.
CAN MY CHILD STAY WITH ME DURING THE SERVICE?
Yes! We are a family-friendly church, so children can stay with their parent or guardian in the sanctuary during worship and the sermon if they so choose.
We also have a children's play space in Common Grounds and a Family Room where you can be with your child during the service. The service is live-streamed on TV's in both Common Grounds and in the Family Room so the parent or guardian doesn't miss the service.
What accommodations do you provide for disabilities?
We offer handicap parking (please have placard visible), handicap accessible rows/seating in the sanctuary, and a handicap accessible restroom in Common Grounds.
HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER?
It's simple! Just speak with the Pastor or an elder of the church expressing your desire for membership.
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
We'd love for you to serve God alongside us! To get started, just let us know where you feel called to serve by filling out a Connection Card in person or completing our online Volunteer Form.
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
You're welcome to stop by the Visitor Center at the rear of the sanctuary after the service to ask further questions. You can also email the church at info@joffchurch.com.
