Ministry is a team sport.
At New Journey Lutheran Church, ministry begins with God’s desires for our shared life together, and it takes many hands to do God’s work. We accomplish ministry tasks through the collaboration of part-time staff and voting members who serve on the Congregation Council. Our leaders are listed below.

The Congregation Council serves as New Journey's Board of Directors. The Council is responsible for setting church policy, making financial decisions, and spiritual oversight of the church. The congregation votes to elect the Congregation Council at the annual meeting. The Congregation Council meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. Council meetings are open for all congregational members.
