What to expect
Sojourn might be a bit different than what you typically experience with a church. We want to be a church like those described in the New Testament. Those churches looked a lot more like family gatherings where they did life together, ate meals, sang songs, studied the bible, served those around them, prayed for one another, and shared stories of how Jesus transformed their lives. Each person was known and important, and would bring his/her spiritual gift to build the others up. It was not about what type of clothes you wear, your social status, your attractiveness or popularity. It was not something that you merely attended, but where you contributed for the sake of each other and for those who have not heard of the message of Jesus. It was also a place where people could ask questions and check out the teachings of Jesus in a safe environment.
Our gatherings will have between 15-70 people and will often begin with a meal or refreshments. Then their will be times of singing, praying, testimonies, and bible discussion. Kids at some point will be taken to another room for some teaching that is more age appropriate, but we try to include them to participate as much as possible.
