Beginning Sunday, September 14, 2008 and continuing for 12 weeks, we will explore our worldview. We all look at the world through a "lens" that includes our experiences, our emotions, things we've learned, and more.

A church for imperfect people on the spiritual journey of life

We chose the name, "Journey of Life," because we believe that every person's life is a spiritual journey. Every one of us on the journey needs a community of love, acceptance and encouragement to grow into the person we are meant to be. Journey of Life strives to be just such a community.

Every person is welcome at Journey of Life, regardless of his or her beliefs or spiritual background. As a church for people on the spiritual journey of life, we are committed to being a place where people can:

• be themselves;
• make some real friends in this community;
• learn and live profound spiritual truths in very practical ways; and
• have a really great time. (We wouldn't be introducing Journey of Life to you completely if we didn't tell you that we laugh quite a bit!)

Click on "Family Resources" to the left to reach "Ready, Click, Grow!" You will find ideas and resources for keeping your family growing together and passing on your faith to the children around you, whether you are single, married without children, married with young children, married with older children, empty-nesters, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles... you get the idea.

Journey of Life is about people, community, love and the wonderful life we have found as followers of Jesus Christ.

At this point, may be wondering...

 

• Do I belong at Journey of Life?

• Who is Jesus and what's the big deal about him?

• What is "Lutheran"?
