SUNDAY WORSHIP
|
9:00AM Traditional Worship We observe communion on the first Sunday of the month.
After worship there is time and space to share in coffee and snacks. If you don’t need to dash off, we invite you to sit in the cafe and visit with others who have gathered. |
10:00AM Combined Worship 5th Sundays only This service is a combination of components from both our traditional and emergent worship services that only occurs on the 5th Sundays of the month.
|
11:00AM Emergent Worship We feel that the vital components to worship include music, teaching & discussion.
We observe communion on the first Sunday of the month. Feel free to enjoy our coffee/tea bar before, during, and/or after worship. This service features a band with a passion for worship. We would love to add new musicians and vocalists to the mix. Contact Pastor Jen for more information. |

We also invite you to explore the sensory tools available in the cafe and encourage you to use them during worship to help you more fully engage. We find they can help us attend to the Spirit at work within us and around us.

Tell Me Something Good:
Grounding Ourselves in the Good News This Lent Lent was originally a season for new converts to learn and prepare for their baptism on Easter. During that time, they would study what was central to Christianity. We will study what is central to Jesus' life and ministry: radical welcome, love for neighbor, care for the vulnerable, nourishment for the hungry, and nonviolence in the face of injustice. At the heart of Jesus' teachings, we find liberation, love, mercy, and grace--all of which are meant to be very good news for us all. The good news should bring us back to our roots. Emulating Jesus and embodying his teachings should ground us in who God created us to be. This series will challenge us to consider the question, "Can we be 'good news' people in a world too often burdened by bad news?" This Lent, let us remember that the good news really is good news. It is joyful--like fine wine saved for celebration. It grows like a mustard seed and smells like perfume poured from an alabaster jar. It tastes like bread passed endlessly through a hungry crowd. It sounds like laughter and feels like mercy. The good news is alive in the world. As we journey through Lent this year, may we root our hearts and lives in the expansive goodness of God and let the teachings of Jesus lead us forward. May the good news inspire us to take action in a world desperate to hear, see, and taste what is good! |
statement of inclusion.

Journey at Christ Church is called to the ministry of reconciliation. We embrace, as a gift, the diversity of our neighborhood and the world. We celebrate our human diversity of age, education, ethnicity, faith history, gender identity, marital status, mental and physical ability, political view, race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. We affirm that all people are created in the image of God, and, as beloved children of God, all are worthy of God’s love and grace. We welcome all people into participation in the life and ministries of Journey at Christ Church as we journey together toward Jesus. We recognize that there are differences among us, but that we are more alike than we are different. We believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike. We also believe that we are called to love each other, embracing our differences rather than excluding others because of them. We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church and society. We invite all people to join us in our faith journey toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect. |
We are listed on LGBTQ+ SPECTRUM of Findlay's directory that is intended to support, promote and connect the LGBTQ+ community to open and affirming establishments within Northwest Ohio. We celebrate diversity and inclusion for all, and particularly seek to enhance the lives of under-represented populations.
