Overall the Journey Christian rates high on the friendliness scale; however, I think everyone should try to talk to at least two other people or familys that they normally don't speak with before or after the service. I think we all tend to fall into a grove or rut and restrict our coversations with only those that we really know or associate with outside of the church.

On the whole, Journey Christian is a very friendly and welcoming church. I agree with Roger that we, at times, get stuck in a rut of only talking with friends. Also, it seems that although the church continues to grow, it is the same core group of people who are involved. Small groups, ministry teams, special events, work days, etc. are all made up of the same core group of people. I feel that getting more of the visitors and new members involved will help to make the church more friendly.
