| Introduction | The Journey is a movement of college-age & twenty-somethings toward truth, a fellowship of young adults following Jesus together as part of the larger community of Centerpoint Church and the Body of Christ both in the Inland Empire and worldwide. |
| Interests | “MAKING DISCIPLES WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE” We believe we are called to be disciples who make disciples wherever we go, immersing them into all God is and training them to walk in all His ways. (Matthew 28:18-20). Toward this end we seek to grow in relationship with the Trinity, the Body of Christ and the Communities in which we live. We call this believing, belonging and becoming. OUR ROAD The journey of believing. God calls us to give ourselves to Him completely—heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27). So we seek God with, and offer to Him, every aspect of who we are. The journey of belonging. The early Christians single-mindedly practiced four things: learning sound doctrine, participating in one another’s lives, remembering the work of Christ, and praying in all kinds of ways (Acts 2:42). So, when we gather together, we seek to cultivate the four spiritual habits of Bible study, fellowship, worship and prayer. The Journey of becoming. When Jesus was a young adult He grew intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially (Luke 2:52). So we seek to maintain a healthy, balanced life by taking steps forward in all four of these areas. As we follow Jesus in this way—believing, belonging and becoming—the difference He makes in us will prepare us to make a difference in our world. |
