Journey Church is a replant church (2015) that has had much success under past leadership and is eager to step into its next chapter as a church.  An exceptional Childrens Wing was built in 2016 and additional renovations where made in 2022 to update the exterior and interior, communicate welcome upon entering and accommodate and allow for growth in other youth ministries. We have a vibrant growing ministries in Childrens, Middle School, Student, and Small Groups.  The Church runs about 250 - 350 on Sunday Mornings.  If you had an opportunity to talk to one or many of the our members and ask, "What keeps you coming back to Journey?", you would hear that our church and people truly do live into the mission of Encountering Jesus, Engaging Together and Empowering Change.  When you walk through our doors, you immediately feel welcome, you want to engage and you have the opportunity to enter into His presence.  

Journey is located in Amarillo, a city with a populution of approximately 200,000 which sits in the heart of the Texas Panhandle.  The city is known for its friendly people, breathtaking sunsets, dry heat and to be completely honest, wind; although, we are one of the few cities in Texas that do get a taste of all four seasons.  We can boast about having the second largest canyon, Palo Duro Canyon in the country just 20 miles outside of town, where you can enjoy hiking, horseback riding, ziplining, camping, and the Texas Outdoor Musical.  Amarillo also embraces the arts and museums through the Amarillo Globe News Center, Amarillo Little Theatre, a brand new movie production studio- Sharpened Iron Studios, Amarillo Quarter Horse Museum and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum. On the education front, we have Amarillo College, recognized as a Top Five Institution, West Texas A & M University (Canyon), Texas Tech Health Science Center School of Pharmacy, and the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine.  Last for those sports lovers, we have a minor league baseball team, the Amarillo Sod Poodles (wondering what a sod poodle is?, you'll have to check it out); a junior ice hockey team, the Amarillo Wranglers; and a professional indoor soccer team, the Amarillo Bombers.  

As we hope you see, we love our church, our people and our community.

The Journey Church NEXT GEN PASTOR

• Posted 3 days ago

Website The Journey Church NEXT GEN PASTOR

Springfield, VA

Denomination:  Christian Church (Restoration Movement)

Weekly Attendance:   700

Location:  Springfield, VA

The Role:  Next-Gen Pastor

Meet The Journey Church:

The Journey Church is located in Northern Virginia (also known as NOVA), about 12 miles southwest of Washington, DC. The Journey has been a growing and healthy church for 50 years. The community that attends The Journey is young and diverse. Many work within corporations with ties to federal agencies or work directly with the federal government, while about 40% of our church is currently military. Like the area, the church is transient in nature with about 20% of those attending moving each year.

Even with so many people moving away, we see an average of about 20% growth year to year. In 2024, we are averaging 700 people on Sunday mornings, and due to our current growth and limited space, we recently moved to three worship services.

Our vision as a church is to see more and more people meet and know Jesus here in Northern Virginia. Over 80% of Fairfax County (containing 1.2 million people) do not follow Jesus. We are very involved in our community through the work we do with local schools, in conjunction with our local government officials and agencies, and other non-profits. In 2020, we started our own non-profit to open up other doors into our community to serve it as needed.

We are a church working to mobilize the 99 to reach the 1 (Luke 15) by helping each person take their next steps towards Jesus, no matter where they may be in their spiritual life. For us, that means we focus on getting people to join us for our Sunday worship experiences, then getting them into life-changing relationships within groups and teams, and leading them to a life of surrendered living, all while inviting others to take these steps with them.

About the Next Gen Pastor:

The Journey Next Gen Pastor will oversee Middle School (7th-8th grades), High School (9th-12th grades), college students, and young adults here at The Journey Church. They will work within The Journey’s coaching model to develop adult and student leaders with the oversight of volunteers to help students take their next steps toward Jesus. This role includes weekly gatherings, small groups, community service, and other activities and events.

This role is a full-time job, with an opportunity for the candidate to contribute to other ministry areas. We are interested in breaking down weekly hours into 30 hours working on students and young adults and then 10 hours a week in an area the candidate has skills or a passion for, such as media, graphics, social media, discipleship, outreach, etc. The ideal candidate will be a coachable leader who can grow this ministry by building a team of leaders to care for others while leading through the vision we have as a church.

Our Lead Pastor emphasizes leadership development through coaching leaders and ensuring that the staff models health for our church. Our goal is for our staff culture to be fun and team-oriented, caring not only for the work being done but also for the person doing the work.

Student Ministry 

Our current Student Ministry team leads have been leading our ministry on a very part-time basis for the last two years and will be moving to their next post in June. Even with part-time leaders in this role, this ministry has grown to its largest size in the life of this church under their leadership (over 70 students involved with this ministry). Through strong leadership, excellent volunteer leaders, and a focus on building relationships with students, our Student Ministry is thriving. With this growth and a healthy team in place, we know it is time to devote more resources to our students and our young adults.

Our students mostly attend four public high schools and four public middle schools within 5 miles of our building. We also have a group of students who are homeschooled and connected to co-ops in the area. Our college students attend George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College alongside those who show up when on breaks. Our young adults are in the local workforce, mostly working on the Hill or with local federal and state agencies, with a few in the military.

The Next Gen Pastor’s Responsibilities Include: 

• Lead middle school and high school weekly gatherings.
• Lead and support college-aged students and young adults.
• Recruit and develop adult and student volunteers to lead ministry and disciple students.
• Coordinate retreats, trips, groups, and special events for students and young adults.
