JRNY Pre-School (Ages 0-4)
Building and Discovering Faith…
In our Pre-School program, our qualified and caring team members will start a journey of faith building and discovery with your child. Through games, crafts, songs, and stories that demonstrate biblical principles, we explore faith together while creating social interactions with others!
We would love to see your child in our Pre-School program!
Pre-School – The Where and How
Our Pre-School is open for your children at the 9:15 and 11am services! When you arrive at the church facility, please go to the back of the lobby near the Cafe to check-in at the tablets and drop-off your child. You can pick up your child at the same location.
JRNY Kids (Grades K-5)
High Energy, Fast Paced, Engaging and Challenging…
JRNY Kids is a program where your student will be introduced to more engaging and challenging teaching and be a part of a larger group of students. We have a high energy, fast paced large group environment, as well as our engaging and intentional small group times. During your student’s time in JRNY Kids they will learn: I can trust God no matter what, I should treat others the way I want to be treated, and I need to make the wise choice.
We would love to see your child in JRNY Kids!

Middle School (Grades 6-8)
I will love God because He will never stop loving me…
The Middle School years are some of the most important years in your teens life. They will be making decisions that determine their direction and destination for the rest of their lives. At Journey we offer a high energy and engaging environment for students to connect and be challenged. In our middle school program your students will learn: I will love God because He will never stop loving me, I will follow Jesus because He knows me better than I know myself, and I will live out God’s story so others can know who Jesus is.
We would love to see your student at JRNY Middle School!

High School (Grades 9-12)
Faith-building relationships to be formed and deeper conversations to be had…
These are the final years before your students enter into the next chapter in their lives. We believe that your students should be given a voice and empowered to contribute to the ministry. We provide an environment that allows for faith-building relationships to be formed and deeper conversations to challenge and strengthen them on their journey. Throughout their high school years they will learn: I’m created to pursue a relationship with my creator, I trust what Jesus did to transform who I need to become, and I exist to demonstrate God’s love to those around me.
We would love to see your student at JRNY High School
