"What does this mean?" or "We've had too much wine"

When the Spirit of the Lord moved the first church in Acts 2, the response was either:

  • Amazing wonder asking, “What does this mean?” (Acts 2:12)
  • Mocking response, “They have had too much wine.” (Acts 2:13)

We could have had too much wine...but...We have decided to join a church planting team


Americans have become disillusioned by "church" and "organized religion." Yet according to a recent Gallup survey, the majority of Americans have not given up on God. In fact, I've found that most people aren't atheists ... they're just turned off or too busy!

That's why, with just a dream of building an authentic community of followers of Jesus Christ, some small groups were begun in Evansville, IN.


The Growing Vision: A place where…

    …people can check out Christianity and seek answers to spiritual questions, and risk an encounter with God

    …we ask and explore the question: "What on Earth am I here for?"

    …we are seeking to reconnect with God through Jesus Christ in an authentically fresh way;

    …we connect with each other, the body as He intends;

    …we are on a mission together

    …joining our journey team will feel more like a visit with folks in life than a formal meeting with a set plan

We know that once you have committed to following Jesus…
you will never be the same!

    If you would like to support and help Journey242 continue to “get off the ground” by giving to one time start up costs (tax deductible) or a giving for a short term commitment (2 to 3 years) we would appreciate it. You may also drop us an email (matt.pastor@gmail.com) and we will keep you updated at your request in that way (or send you vision statements or other things you might request). The other option is to send any support now to:
