It’s Not a Career. It’s a Calling.

God is infinitely wise and gives each of us gifts He knows we’ll be able to use to continue to grow His kingdom. For some of us, those talents are to be translated into ministry.

When you work at Journey Church International, you’ll use your God-given gifts to inspire people far from God to become passionate Christians who make a difference in the world. Our church home is in Lee’s Summit, but your impact will stretch all across the globe.
