Missions

Being in mission to others is an essential part of who we are.

In addition to participation in our Annual Conference's Summer Mission Trip, our members regularly:

• donate food to the Hutto Food Pantry,

• participate in Feeding the 5000

• donate to coats for Coats for Kids,

• volunteer to work with Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County,

• volunteer with Care Communities

• volunteer with Austin Region Justice for Our Neighbors (ARJFON)

• collect gifts for Brown Santa, and

• cook lunch for the Hope Alliance Women's shelter on Christmas Day.

Journey of Faith has marched in the Austin Pride Parade for the past four years. Click here to see photos from the 2015 parade. We also host a group for LGBTQIA persons called the Rainbow Connection.

On a global basis, our church supports disaster relief through the United Methodist Committee on Relief and provides classroom materials for a school in San Juanillo, Costa Rica.

Programs

Journey of Faith UMC seeks to involve all age groups in our church family. We have programs for adults, youth, and children. We invite you come and visit us, and we hope you find a place for your family in our church.

Adults

Journey of Faith adult programs include The Rainbow Connection, a small group that provides support for LGBTQIA persons, that meets each month.

Other programs for adults in the church vary throughout the year, so check the bulletin or the Journey of Faith Facebook Group page for the latest goings-on.

Childcare available upon request for any of the adult groups

Youth

Youth are an integral part of Journey of Faith. The youth meet for lunch after Sunday morning services followed by a time of study, fellowship, and recreation. Each year on Youth Sunday, our young people lead us in an inspiring worship experience. At Journey of Faith, we are blessed with a group of young people, who by their witness and example, remind us that they are not just the "church of the future" but an integral part of the church today.

Kids and Younger

At Journey of Faith we treasure children. Staffed by trusted caregivers who have been with us since the beginning, we provide a safe and loving nursery for those five and under and a Children's Church for those in the 1st through 5th grades.

On Palm Sunday we sponsor a Community Egg Hunt for children of all ages, and each summer we offer a wonder-filled Vacation Bible School for children age two through 5th grade.

We also offer worship that is child-friendly for those families who wish to include their children in weekly worship.
