Welcome to the Family
Real People. Real Struggles. Real Jesus.

Our Story & Mission
A Simple Journey Toward Jesus
The history of this community is marked by a desire to reach the local area. Established as Woodford Community Christian Church with a heart for families, the name was changed to Journey Church to better reflect a growing mission.
Within a 20-minute drive of Journey Church, there are over 75,000 people who do not attend church regularly. While these men, women, and families may be far from God, they are deeply loved by Him. God has placed this church where it is for a purpose: to move people on a simple Journey toward Jesus so that we can reach the unchurched in Central Kentucky with the gospel.
You will find that faith is not meant to be complicated. It is about a relationship with the One who created you. As a restoration-minded church, this is a place where God changes lives regardless of where you have stumbled in the past. You can join a community hungry for transformation and ready to see God move in your life.
Standing on the Truth
You are building a life. You need a foundation that holds up when the world feels shaky. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God given to be that solid ground. It serves as the final authority for our church and the true lens through which you can view your life.
We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:16, 17; John 14:9, 10We believe God is the Creator of man and of all things.
Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son and Savior of the world.
John 3:16; Matthew 1:18; John 20:24-31We believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian.
John 16:5-15We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith.
Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned and, as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:7We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sins) comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (His death on the cross).
Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:8-11; Ephesians 2:8-9We believe the Bible teaches that the pattern to follow to receive Jesus as Savior is to believe in Christ as God’s Son and Savior of the world, to repent of personal sin, to confess Christ as Lord, and to be immersed in baptism.
Luke 24:45-47; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; 2 Peter 3:9We believe that the Church is the body and bride of Christ, founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere.
Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47We believe it is God’s plan for elders to be the overseers of the local Church.
Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; 1 Peter 5:1-4We believe that God defined the institution of marriage to be between one biological man and one biological woman. God views physical intimacy outside of marriage as a sin.
Genesis 2:22-25; Matthew 19:4-6We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God.
Romans 8:10-11; Daniel 12:2; John 6:47
