THREE DAYS OF SPIRITUAL HEALTH, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND DISCIPLESHIP
Journey Conference, held on September 22–24, 2023, will focus on developing three areas of your life: spiritual health, leadership development, and making disciples who make disciples.
This will be an amazing time to be encouraged and challenged to go deeper and grow stronger!
In addition to our keynote speakers in our main sessions, there will be breakouts offered on Saturday afternoon for smaller, more intimate times of teaching and instruction on timely topics.
As an added bonus, we are offering a Saturday-only Kids Conference! Your K–5th graders will have the opportunity to experience a time of worship and messages designed specifically for them.
There will also be some pretty cool opportunities sprinkled throughout Conference that you don’t want to miss. We look forward to seeing you in September!
Bringing a group? Groups of 5 or more get $10 off per ticket!
SPEAKERS

KEVIN & JOELENE TAYLOR
Kevin and Joelene Taylor began in ministry in 1981 as worship pastors and somehow along the way, God opened doors for them to be in leadership at Journey Church from 2006 until now. It has been the greatest joy of their ministry lives together.
They have three grown daughters, two sons-in-law, and five grandchildren. One of their favorite things to do is travel the world—Italy, in particular. However, they are not merely parents or grandparents or professional pastors. They are unbelievably passionate about seeing people walk toward Jesus, living out their callings as followers of Christ, and serving in their greatest areas of giftedness.
MANOUCHKA CHARLES
Manouchka Charles is a pastor at VOUS Church in Miami, FL, a church whose mission is to bring those who are far from God close to God. She connects people to church and helps them discover their purpose.
Some of her great passions in life include Jesus, food, music, writing, and people. She wants to share her passions and help you discover yours.


LUNGZ MAKAULA
Lungz Makaula is the founder and lead pastor of SOZO City Church in Chicago, IL. Having been in ministry for 15 years in South Africa, Australia, and the U.S., Lungz brings a global perspective to his passion for building the Church and building people’s lives.
Lungz has been married to Kristin since 2013 and together they are brilliant thinkers, strategists, leaders, and dynamic communicators, who deeply love Jesus, their sons, and the local church.
JOURNEY WORSHIP
Our very own Journey Worship team will be leading us in worship during JRNY Conference!
Worship is not just about music, but it’s a lifestyle. It’s about giving our all to God and living our lives in a way that reflects His love and grace to others. The Journey Worship team is passionate about seeing people’s lives transformed by the power of God and believes that worship is a powerful tool that God uses to do just that.
