2024 Jesus Journey Events
Jesus Journey events are intended for individuals and groups to Arise and Realize. These events will introduce The Jesus Journey in helping you become a disciple of Jesus through our Jesus Journey Groups and Jesus Journey Cohorts in supporting churches to develop biblical discipleship rhythms for all of life. In Matthew 16 Jesus shares with Peter that he will become the rock on which the church will be built upon. We know that the church is the central place for spiritual development and disciple-making. Our Arise and Realize events will share the biblical approach to disciple-making, including inspirational testimonies from Jesus Journey participants and leaders as well as disciple-making partners.
Arise and Realize Events is an invitation to delve deeper into the joyous adventure of discipleship. Whether you’re taking your first steps or continuing your journey, we invite you to join us for a day filled with learning, fellowship, and discovery.
We look forward to welcoming you to an enriching experience where you can explore, engage, and grow in your faith.
