Description
Journey Companions exists to help develop communities of grace that care for the souls of others, which results in spiritual deepening led by the Holy Spirit.
The evidence of this is men and women who are being transformed and are intent on building missional communities that reflect Christ’s love to lost people. (Acts 2:42)
We see ourselves as companions along the journey toward transformational, missional communities and deeper, more personal individual relationships with Jesus.
We come alongside people in existing relationships, whether churches or community groups, leadership teams or families, to offer training in Soul Care and doing the “one anothering” of the Bible. We as a team have tasted what it means to be in authentic, gospel rich community, and we want to share that taste with others.
