LifeJourney Church

LGBTQ congregation and advocacy group

LifeJourney Church–originally known as Jesus Metropolitan Community Church–was founded in 1990 as a trailblazing church of refuge for LGBTQ Christians. At the time, it was the only predominantly LGBTQ congregation in Indianapolis.

Over the years, the church grew to become a congregation of over 400 and became a leading advocate for spiritual and legal equality for LGBTQ people. Examples of its advocacy efforts included organizing ICON, the Interfaith Coalition on Nondiscrimination, a statewide coalition of affirming congregations that formed in 2001 and advocated for LGBTQ equality at the Statehouse and beyond.

The church published The Children Are Free: Reexamining The Biblical Evidence On Same-Sex Relationships in 2002. The book has been translated into seven languages. The church also conducted a citywide campaign in 2006 and 2007 proclaiming “Would Jesus Discriminate?” emblazoned on 35 billboards and 2,000 yard signs. The billboards and yard signs, which directed viewers to a website highlighting LGBTQ issues, made national news.

In one of its boldest actions, LifeJourney brought 120 people to a 2004 Statehouse hearing aimed at amending Indiana’s Constitution to prohibit gay marriage. During the hearing, all 120 individuals went to their knees in silent prayer, then sang “We Shall Overcome,” and then held a mock funeral, complete with caskets, to dramatize how discrimination was causing incidences of LGBTQ youth suicide.

As progress has been made toward LGBTQ equality, LifeJourney has evolved and broadened its mission, becoming a multicultural congregation for people of all sexual orientations, genders, races, ages, and socioeconomic statuses.

Journey Church Orlando has become my home away from home, and I can't sing its praises enough. From the get-go, the messages have been an absolute game-changer. They're not just well-taught but also delivered with a refreshing transparency that makes you feel connected. Love, care, and support are woven into every word, and the absence of negative undertones sets the tone for a genuinely uplifting experience. Let's talk about Pastor Jj - this guy is truly God sent. His teachings resonate, and you can feel the passion behind every word. It's evident he genuinely cares about the congregation's well-being, and that authenticity makes a world of difference. He inserts a lot of humor making the sermons fly by! Coming from a church where the pastor used his pulpit as a way to take on his personal vendettas on members and airing out everyone's secrets, journey has helped heal my church hurt. The staff deserves a standing ovation. Friendly doesn't quite capture it--they're genuinely welcoming. Walking into the church feels like coming home to a big, loving family. Safety is a top priority here, and that sense of security is priceless. As a parent, the children's church process has been a game-changer. It's not just about keeping the kids occupied; it's about giving parents peace of mind. Knowing that your little ones are not only cared for but also engaged in a meaningful way during the service is a huge relief. Now, let's talk small groups. It's like they've thought of everything. There's a group for almost every situation imaginable, and if you don't find what you're looking for, they actively encourage you to help create it. It's a community that thrives on inclusivity and actively involves its members in shaping their own experiences. In summary, if you're on the lookout for a church to call home, Journey Church Orlando is the answer. It's a place where the messages inspire, the pastor leads with unwavering solidity, the staff feels like family, safety is a given, and the community actively encourages you to be a part of shaping its future. Pleased doesn't quite cover it--I'm downright grateful to have found this incredible community. Five stars and then some!

Great place to attend for worship very relatable. Easy to understand, keeps you engaged, very uplifting and positive.

Journey is not just a church it is a community. I have been attending for 1 year now and the people are warm and welcoming. The church services are 9am, 10:45, and 12:30. Every Sunday and our mission this year is Pray first so they have Saturday morning prayer 9-10am. I love journey and anyone you ask will say the same! If you are looking for a church please give us a try you won't be disappointed with our amazing pastors.

I attend and serve at East Campus, it has a family atmosphere and embodies the way I enjoy seeking Jesus. This church is so welcoming and accommodating to make Jesus accessible to anyone. They want everyone to participate and become one large community through small groups that perpetuate our faith. I was also fortunate enough to go on a mission trip with this church to El Salvador, which was life changing.

Loved the Christmas eve service we saw online. The praise and worship was awesome and so was Pastor JJ's message. The only suggestion is to turn background music down so we can here the Pastor more clearly when he is preaching. There were times when the keyboard just drowned out his voice. In spite of that the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart thru his words. Will visit in person when we return to Florida again! God please continue to bless this ministry!

Great church def recommend to friends and family will feel the holy spirit can be your home church , pastor jj is great teachings has great visiting pastors teachings aswell, i just dont think they should let a woman who is not the pastors wife preach a whole sermon, 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 "The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission," i get the new gen perspective still dont agree with that though

I've been coming here for 11 months now and this church has truly been a blessing in my life. A church that celebrates diversity and is composed of people from every age, it's nestled in Winter Park taking residence in Winter Park High School on Sundays. This family (because everyone here treats each other as such) has small groups for support throughout the week, a children's ministry, a youth ministry, and an amazing worship experience! I first checked them out on their website: journeyorl.com If you've been looking for a church to call home, you should definitely check this church out!

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CHURCH TO CALL HOME.. LOOK NO FURTHER. The second you hear the pastors/leaders at this church it'll be an easy decision for you to make this your community. Such a humble, kind, and inspiring group of people. I am coming up on 1 year attending this church and I am so grateful to have found them. Thank you for everything you all do in the name of Jesus.

If you're looking for a new place to call home, you landed on the right page. I started going to Journey in January of 2017 and felt like I was part of a family. There's so many small interest based groups to choose from for you to connect with other likeminded Christians. There's also missions trips which I had the opportunity of going to Nicaragua and I was able to do photography for the church which I really enjoyed. Journey is growing and influencing our city and across the nations. Pastor JJ and his wife Liz are two of the most loving, positive, encouraging, and influential leaders I have ever met. I'm truly thankful for their guidance, encouragement, and leadership. God is in this place. Welcome home!

Amazing Church, Amazing energy, and amazing pastor!! Gifted and definitely filled his calling with being a leader and sharing the word of God! Young and full of life, great church for all ages - has a talent of tying in real life situation while preaching.

Would it be helpful for an ambassador to show you around the church on Sunday and help you find a comfortable seat? Sure, that would be helpful. No, I prefer to "fly under the radar" on my first visit.

We can give you a call… Our staff welcomes the opportunity to help you learn more about LifeJourney (or to answer specific questions)? Yes… Please contact me at the number above. No, I will browse the website and make a connection later.
