Meet Judy Webb. She says she’s “just an average girl with an amazing God. I was never that brave, never really outgoing, usually was afraid of new situations. I often times would try to hide who I really was in order to fit into a crowd.” Read more about her story and what she thinks about the Sojourn community.

It is not the local church that will change the world; it is Jesus. Attendance on Sundays does not transform lives; Jesus within their hearts is what changes people.
We accept gifts to support our ministries and to fund other church plants. You can give finances online at anytime.
Love and accept - yes. But
Love and accept - yes.
But there ultimately has to be a recognition that it’s a sinful lifestyle. Otherwise, we are remiss in representing the gospel and its’ supernatural power to free us from our destructive sins. The analogy is a parent with a child who perhaps has a serious drug addiction problem. The parent will always love and accept the child. But, if the parent’s love is real - if it’s genuine - the parent will also do everything in their power to try and set the child free from their destructive addiction. Otherwise, it’s not genuine love.
Sojourn welcomes and loves gays and lesbians just as Christ welcomed and loved sinners. But just as Jesus also called sinners to leave their life of sin, so also does Sojourn point the way to the only One who can truly set us free from our sins - Jesus Christ. Jesus says whomever He sets free is free indeed (John 8:31-32).

All of us at Sojourn are sinners. Only the power of Christ is strong enough to free us from our suicidal tendicies.
We welcome everyone.
