WHAT TO EXPECT
NEXT GEN MINISTRY
Our Journey Kids Ministry is designed for children from birth through fifth grade. Your child experiences age-appropriate teaching, music and fun activities designed to introduce them to a life-changing journey with Jesus. Journey Kids is available on Sunday mornings and is led by staff and volunteers who will be there each week to care for and love on your child. By the way, we utilize a check-in system that ensures a safe environment for your child and also allows for efficient drop-off and pick-up for parents.
Our Journey Students Ministry is designed for middle school and high schoolers. We want to see students take next steps on their journey with Jesus and become pioneers for the Gospel in every area of their lives. Our vision to accomplish this starts with a conversation, leads to transformation, and inspires multiplication.

MEET OUR
LEAD PASTOR
Dustin Aagaard
Hello and welcome to Journey Christian Church. My name is Dustin Aagaard, and I serve as the Lead Pastor here at Journey Christian Church.
Whether you’ve never been to church or you are stopping by to check us out for the first time, we are so glad you are here. Our heart at Journey is to create a place where everybody’s welcome because nobody’s perfect, and through Jesus, anything’s possible.
My wife, TJ, and I grew up in the same church and met in middle school. We have three incredible kids, Riley, Callie Joy, and Darby, and we couldn’t be more grateful and proud of each of them. I am a Floridian through and through. I love the beach, golf, and cheering on my favorite teams: the Orlando Magic, the Miami Dolphins, and the Florida Gators.
When God called our family to Journey in 2017, I felt Him give me a clear job description. It was to pray and prepare for revival. I don’t take that job lightly, and that’s what I’ve been doing, praying and preparing for a fresh move of God to take place in Central Florida. For most of my career, I was a Youth Pastor and a Family Pastor at several churches. I also worked for an incredible parachurch organization called YoungLife.
In 2003, at the age of 23, I survived a battle with cancer. That was a wake-up call to not waste my life or my leadership but to steward both well. Ever since then, I have become passionate about three things:

1. Reaching out to love our neighbors
2. Serving the hurting
3. Developing leaders for ministry
Those are the three pillars of our church, with our vision statement being,
“Journey Christian Church is a community of fully devoted disciples of Jesus who reach out to love our neighbors, serve the hurting, and develop leaders for ministry.”
I’m so glad you stopped by, and I pray God does something fresh and new in and through you!
I’m loving the Journey!
