Our Statement of Purpose
“The Journey Church Hawaii MiniChurch Network” exists to equip people to DISCOVER, DEVELOP, LIVE and SHARE God’s Abundant Life with an emphasis on Living a Servant Lifestyle” [Psalm 84:5-7; John 10:10; Ephesians 4:12; John 13:1-17]
What is a Servant Lifestyle? A Believer who asks Jesus three questions everyday:
1. “Jesus, how can You be so Good?”
2. “How am I doing with the People God has given me to love?”
3. “Lord, how can I serve You today?”
