The Journey Church of Atlanta

The Journey Church of Atlanta recently celebrated its 10-​year anniversary under the faithful and godly leadership of our head pastor, Matt Ro. JCA is just one of the many churches belonging to the AMI (Acts Ministries International) family which primarily serves college communities. With that said, JCA was planted in close proximity to the G Tech, GSU, and Emory campuses. JCA has been my home church for over 6 years, and I serve as the co-​leader of the hospitality team, which provides yummy refreshments after service.
Service & Parking information:
This particular location on Sheridan serves the young adult community (post-​undergraduate and beyond) Sunday’s at 1:30 PM, within the Westminster Presbyterian Church facilities (who have graciously allowed us to use their fellowship hall, beautiful sanctuary, and kitchen). If you have young children and infants, the Children’s Ministry can accommodate you while you are in service, watching over the little people and incorporating Sunday School Bible stories and games. There are plenty of parking spaces in the lot adjacent to the church. The college service starts at 11 AM in the Architecture Auditorium on the Georgia Tech Campus. Free parking is located within a parking deck just a couple of blocks away.
Events and traditions:
I appreciate JCA because of its organization, but I love it because of how much focus is on prayer and the Word. Twice a year, JCA has retreats and prayer vigils; once a year, we have what we would call, Journey Bowl. Basically, it’s a friendly competition between FGs (described in further detail below) consisting of relatively non-​athletic games. We recently had one of our biggest and most important services: Easter Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! The attendance was definitely over 400, and you are expected to prepare your stomachs for menu items such as: pinwheels, spaghetti & meatballs, deviled eggs, tres leches, and more! I’m on Hospitality team, so I’m biased, but seriously… who isn’t big on food?
JCA Bible studies are more commonly known as FGs (or Family Groups). These are broken down in personal preference of where you live (i.e. Clarkston, Buckhead, etc), if you are a student then where you go to school, and what day you want to meet. FGs meet weekly to incorporate an intimate setting of sharing and fellowship.
There is so much more, but I guess with anything, you can’t truly experience anything through a Unilocal review. So, come join us for service! You’ll most likely find me behind the table with food post-​service talking with someone or stealing bites!
