Our Vision

Our vision is to help people know God and discover the path that He has for them.  

Our Mission

Our mission is to passionately love God and people.  We accomplish this by creating an atmosphere where God’s presence is felt and lives are changed.

Our Values

Faith: We envision a church where faith is not just a Sunday ritual, but a guiding light in our everyday lives.

Families: Families are the building blocks of our community, and we envision a church where families are nurtured and supported.

Friendships: We envision a church where friendships extend beyond the walls of the church, reaching out to those who are seeking community and connection.

Healing: We desire to see people who are hurting physically and emotionally find freedom.

Generosity: God is a generous God! We desire to follow His example so we are generous with our time, talent and treasure.  

Discover Purpose

Everyone, at some point, wonders who they are because it determines how we see ourselves. We know people come to church with many identities– some positive, some negative.

Our goal is for you to see yourself the way God sees you. Jesus, the Son of God, taught that we are children who are valued, forgiven and loved unconditionally in God’s eyes. We want you to think, trust and live knowing that you are a child of the Most High God so that you experience the goodness purposed for you here and now.

Find Community

If you’ve been going through the motions and wishing for more, you’re not alone. Every person has a need to connect with something greater than themselves and with other people who are working to make a difference in the world.

Jesus invites us into a new reality called “The Kingdom of God.” It looks like ordinary people living out an extraordinary story together.

Make A Difference

Our mission at Journey Church is to guide you in building a personal relationship with God. As you grow in this relationship, you’ll continually find more freedom in Christ and embrace the vision He has for your life.

You’ll develop meaningful connections with others in the same season of life. You’ll make a difference in the world by serving others with your God-given strengths.

We’re here to help you know God personally, grow in your relationships and discover your purpose.

Pastors Gary &
Rodine Palermo

Senior Pastors

Pastors Gary and Rodine Palermo have been in ministry since 1975, and have traveled from coast to coast preaching the message of Jesus.  They moved to Minnesota with their family and became the senior pastors of Journey Church in 2007  with the belief that people are designed to make a difference in this world and they can leave a legacy that lifts up Jesus.

Together they are leading the church to meet the need in every person to connect with something greater than themselves and with other people. They believe Jesus invites us into a new reality called “The Kingdom of God.” It looks like ordinary people living out an extraordinary story together.

Journey Church is a place where people are welcomed into this extraordinary story regardless of your background or life season. Pastors Gary and Rodine believe people’s lives will be transformed by encountering the presence of Jesus. We exist to help people live a better journey by making their path plain, so they can avoid drifinting through life.

Pastors Gary and Rodine are both gifted with a ministry of teaching the Word of God. They have a passion to teach leadership and team building principles found in the Scriptures that further the work of God’s Kingdom. Their mission is to guide people in building a personal relationship with God so that they will embrace the vision God has for their life.

Gary and Rodine believe every person is created for a purpose, they are created for relationship, and created to be part of the Kingdom of God.

We would love to see you in church!
