Soul
The Soul Ministry is responsible for creating worship at Journey IFC. Their goal is to create meaningful and spirit-filled environments for our faith community. The Soul Train includes these teams: music, audio/visual, set-up, communion, drama, special services and greeters. Team leaders will receive direction from Rick, David and Leslie about each worship service.
Our first priority and joy is to love and know God.
We experience God through Prayer, Contemplation, Worship, Silence. We help each other do this in peace and safety. We participate in prayer and worship in traditional and not-so-traditional ways that stretch us and help us to grow. We become better people by knowing God. You are invited into meaningful interactions with God's Spirit. We'll help you do that.

Mind
The Mind Ministry fulfills the needs of the organization for learning and equipping. This includes Youth, Adult Bible Studies, Nursery, VBS, Back-to-school Party, Wednesday Kid's Time, and Advent & Lent Lunches.
In order to love and serve God and other people better, we must learn new things about how to be healthy and how to serve. Jesus called this "making disciples." We study and grow together, with openness and without judging others. We do not believe everyone has to agree about all things; we focus rather on the calling of God in our community. We question and think and listen. We study the Bible, talk about our lives and struggles, and learn about relationships and spiritual life together. You are encouraged to explore and expand your faith in following Jesus. We'll grow and learn with you.
