JOIN A GROWTH GROUP TODAY!
At Journey Community Church we understand that community with other like minded believers is of the utmost importance. At Journey we believe the best way to grow deeper in your faith and relationship with God is to be involved in a Growth Group. Our goal is that anyone who comes to Journey Community Church has the ability to join in a community and grow together in Jesus.
We believe that life is best lived in relationship with one another, and our Growth Groups are where we do life together. We also want to make a larger church feel small and Growth Groups help make that close community happen.
INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP
aT
At Journey we take Jesus command on making disicples seriously. That is why we have developed an Intentional Discipleship Pathway focused on Acts 2 with the theme verse of Acts 2:42-47. Acts 2 lays out the seven rhythms practiced and modeled by the early church. These are the seven rhythms that make up our Intentional Disicpleship program.
The rhyhms were all carried out with a community of people, and in our growth groups is where Intentional Discipleship happens.
Currently we are gearing up for launching our Growth Groups on January 19, 2025.
At that time two types of groups will be offered: Rooted and Story of God.
ROOTED
ROOTED
The Rooted experience takes groups in the church on a 11-week journey of learning and practice. Groups learn foundational Christian beliefs and practice the 7 rhythms of discipleship from the New Testament. The experience challenges and inspires participants to step beyond their comfort zone as they follow Jesus.
The Rooted Workbook will guide the group for this 11-week journey into a deeper connection with God, purpose, and the Church. Experience the joy of following Jesus and build strong connections within the church community.
Rooted should be taken before signing up for the Story of God.

ROOTED FAQ
Rooted is a 11-week discipleship program and a catalyst for life-change. It provokes questions and conversations and group experiences designed to give you a glimpse of your story in God’s story.
Rooted Growth Groups meet in homes, at Journey, and online.
If you miss Week One, your leader will be in contact with you and you can still join your group. For the best Rooted experience, we recommend not missing more than 2 weeks. If your schedule requires you to miss more than two, feel free to jump in when the next Rooted session starts.
The cost for Rooted is $12 and you will receive a workbook. Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to purchase your workbook. We ask that you register online, but you may pay for your workbook by cash or check at JCC. If this is what you desire select the "pay later" selection while registering. Also, we desire that all who wanted to be in a Rooted Group can be in one despite any financial constraints. Scholarships are available should you need any financial assistance in purchasing the workbook. Please email chaz@journeydepere.com to inquire about scholarships.
Please see the above groups for which ones will have childcare. There is no cost for childcare. Some couples have made a donation towards childcare for upcoming growth groups, but this is not a requirement.
In order to fully experience Rooted it is recommended that if you know you are going to miss more than two meetings, it might be better to attend the next Rooted session (tentatively scheduled for April, 2025). Here is the schedule for Rooted.
STORY OF GOD
STORY OF GOD
Anyone who wants to understand their own story must understand the gospel story of Jesus told throughout the Bible.
The Story of God is an 8-week, group discipleship resource exploring the Bible's overarching redemptive narrative. Traveling chronologically from Genesis to Revelation, this study will remove the intimidation factor and allow participants to discover the story of Jesus on every page of the Bible. This discovery will equip participants to join Jesus in that big story.
