Our Story

The Journey Begins

Journey Church held its first service on January 3, 2010. Journey began as an
intentional church plant, meaning it was started because of a calling—not as a result of
a church split or a splinter group from another congregation. Founding Pastor Benji
Rowland and his family answered God’s call to bring this vision to life in Tifton, GA,
planting the seeds for a thriving church community.

The Journey Continues

Today, Journey Church is stepping boldly into a new season under the leadership of
 our new lead pastor, Alan Gotthardt. Alan’s deep passion for the gospel and discipleship is leading
 our church to grow as a missional community learning to live and love like Jesus. With a focus on becoming
 more like Jesus, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for what God has in store. As we seek
 to see His Kingdom come in Tifton as it is in Heaven, we are confident that the best is yet to
come for Journey Church!

The Journey Ahead

Journey Church has always been about reaching those that are far from God.
That won’t change! We believe the lost, the hurting, and the broken can find hope,
purpose, and their unique place in God’s story. In our casual and contemporary
environment, people experience authentic worship, are inspired by Biblical and practical
teaching, and are brought into a community of other believers learning to live and love
like Jesus. Our heart is to see people grow as disciples of Jesus, embodying His life
and character in their words, actions, and every aspect of life. At Journey Church, we
invite everyone to not only discover a relationship with Jesus but to embrace the journey
of becoming more like Him through a life of discipleship. Are you ready to take the next
step in your journey? Join us for one of our Sunday Worship services—we can’t wait to
meet you!
