About The Journey Church

The Journey is a casual, contemporary church located in the beautiful city of Boca Raton, FL.
 
Boca Raton is a city of 100,000 that is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live and raise a family in the U.S.  Despite it's outward beauty, Boca Raton is spiritually lost with about 83% of the people within 7 miles of The Journey Church living without the hope of Christ.
 
We like to refer to Boca as the most beautiful mission field in America, and The Journey Church is on the front lines of reaching this community for Christ.
 
The Journey Church launched the start of weekly services in 2011, meeting at a local high school. After 8 years of life-changing ministry in rented facilities, on Easter Sunday 2019 we celebrated the Grand Opening of our permanent Ministry and Worship Center in the heart of Boca Raton.
 
We are passionate about reaching our community for Christ, and seeing the people of South Florida become fully-developing followers of Jesus.
 
Our staff love God, love each other, and are motivated by our passion for evangelism, discipleship, worship, groups and family ministry, and our heart to meet needs in our city.
 
God has blessed our church, not only here in Boca Raton, but at our campuses in New York City. And we believe that the best days are still ahead!
