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.
