The NExT Initiative is The Journey's 20-year $20 million initiative (by 2042) with the following goals:

• Secure the future of The Journey Church.
• Double the ministry impact of The Journey Church.
• Provide for a permanent meeting location and ministry center for The Journey Church in the heart of NYC.

The NExT Initiative will position The Journey Church to respond to any BIG ministry opportunities that God might put before us and allow us to continue to reach the people of New York City and beyond for Jesus Christ.

If you haven't yet, will you pray and allow God to stretch you to make an initial 5-Year Pledge to the NExT Initiative to help us reach our goal?  If you made an initial pledge, consider increasing your pledge today.  Make your pledge on faith based on what you believe God can do in your life.

Make a gift to the NExT Initiative today and help us reach our Phase One goal of $2 million by Fall 2024.  This gift will count toward your 5-Year personal pledge to NExT.  You can give by Credit, Debit, Paypal, Cash App, Venmo or Google Pay.  Just choose NExT Initiative in the drop-down menu or mark it in the memo line.  You can also give by text.  Just text the amount you want to give + the word "Next" to 212.730.8300 (i.e. text "50 Next" to 212.730.8300 to give $50 to NExT).

The Journey Church began as a church here in New York City in 2002.  As we reflect on all that God has done in and through our church – including over 3,200 baptisms, countless lives changed, thousands of needs met and millions of people shown God’s love in meaningful ways – it is time to dream big about what God might have in store for the NExT 20 years and beyond.

If not now, when? God has blessed our church and we have grown spiritually and numerically. Now is the time to dream big dreams and to begin preparing The Journey for ministry in NYC for generations to come. And a permanent ministry facility can be a big part of that.

“The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD.”
- 1 Chronicles 29:9
