What to Expect

Relax

Drop kids off




Wear your shorts and flip-flops, or your Sunday best; we’re not a church that worries about how you look on the outside. We meet you where you are, whether you’ve been attending church your whole life or you’re brand new to this whole thing.

Our weekend services are designed to take us deeper into the truth of Jesus through amazing music and preaching. Some of the stuff we cover on the weekends will be serious, sometimes even heavy, but we also like to think that Jesus had a good sense of humor. Come prepared to learn from biblically-based teaching, with a little bit of Pastor Curtis’ raw sense of humor thrown in the mix.

Grown-up church services aren’t fun when you’re a kid, that’s why we have a special place just for them! Your children are important to us, that’s why The Zone creates a safe and fun place for your kids to hang out with other kids while learning to live like Jesus, too.

We help people develop authentic, meaningful relationships by meeting throughout the week in smaller groups. It’s easy to feel alone in the crowd. We believe the best way to become more like Jesus is through authentic relationships with each other. We do this through Life Groups, small communities of people who love each other and who make up our larger community.

Jesus is on a mission to restore this dysfunctional world. We, as the Church, are His main instruments to bring that restoration. Through the generosity and volunteerism of people like you, Cornerstone is able to serve people suffering from poverty, abuse, human trafficking, hunger, severe medical issues and much more.



what to expect (upbeat music and relevant, biblical preaching);
what to wear (Are jeans and shorts OK?); and
encouragement to stop by Guest Central or your church’s information booth to pick up a first-time guest packet.



Relax, come as you are, check in you kids (0-10) downstairs


Cafe Once you join us inside, you may chat and have some refreshments in our cafe area. Nearby signs will direct you to the nursery, kids gym, or our main worship service.

Children Children are very important to us at JCI, and our caring nursery and children’s programs work very hard to give our kids a great experience. You will find the nursery on the left upon entering our doors, and the Elementary ministry, grades K-6, to the right and down the hall.

Seating Our ushers will be glad to help you find your seat before services begin. You’ll see a countdown clock in our cafe and on our main screen when there’s less than 5 minutes to the beginning of our worship service.

Message Pastor Christian gives a message straight from the Bible each Sunday that applies to everyday life and lasts between 35-45 minutes, depending on whether or not the Chiefs play at noon (only partially kidding here).

Dress We dress comfortably at JCI. You are welcome to wear what you want, and we know some people feel more comfortable in shorts and t-shirts and some feel better in slacks and dresses.

VIP Guests If you’re a first or second-time guest at Journey Church International, you are our VIP for the day. We’d like you to take a small gift with you as you leave. You can pick it up at our VIP center, at the back of the auditorium in front of the large “VIP 1st Time Guest” banner.
