Community Outreach

SEVENS
SEVENS is a meal we provide for the homeless and those in need in the Westminster area. We prepare the food at home, then at 5:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month, we serve the meal, and clean up afterward at the Westminster Presbyterian Church.

DIVE!
DIVE! is The Journey’s food rescue program. We have saved hundreds of thousands of pounds of food and delivered it to people in need. We partner with local grocery stores, which save food for us that would otherwise be thrown away. We pick up the food and deliver it to area food banks and also individuals in need.

Yearly Drives
The Journey offers unique opportunities to extend compassion and support to those around us. We have annual drives for diapers and formula, school supplies, warm clothing for the homeless, Christmas gifts, and support for AIDS orphans in Africa. Our mission is to make a tangible impact through acts of kindness and generosity.

Teach Kids Church
At The Journey, we want kids to learn all of the stories of the Bible. We teach them the same topics and themes that the adults learn in a fun and engaging way. Teachers serve one Sunday a month and all lessons and materials are provided. Sign up on the Connect Tables today to help teach our children about God!

Help in the Nursery
In our nursery, we take special care of our youngest members. We use toys and a nurturing environment that are just right for their age to help them grow socially, emotionally, and physically. We need volunteers to care for our babies once a month. Sign up on the Connect Tables today!

Help with Setup Tasks
At The Journey Church, we bring in and set up everything needed for our service each week (sound equipment, food, signs, kids’ church, and nursery items, etc.). This provides many opportunities to be involved by joining us in the camaraderie of doing this work together each week. Check out the signup sheet on the Connect Table.
-
Help with Teardown Tasks
After church each week, we pack up all of our equipment and supplies so they are safe and ready for the next week. There are many places to volunteer, from putting away our coffee pots, to packing up our nursery, stacking chairs, loading the trailer, and many more! Visit the Connect Tables and signup to help with a tear down task.

Agape Feast

Pie Day
On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we host a pie potluck before our church service. Come early at 10 a.m. to spend time together and enjoy some pie as a community. This is a great way to spend time together and get practice for Thanksgiving!
