The Journey Tower Grove — Attraction in St. Louis

I have been attending The Journey for a year and I enjoy it. It's a wonderful church that connects with its multicultural neighborhood. They strive to follow what Jesus said are the two greatest commandments: Love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.

For the two or so reviewers that wrote that The Journey isn't welcoming to homosexuals: A) I haven't witnessed this personally. B) I encourage you to read what the Bible says about homosexuality.

Our culture promotes the touchy-feely Jesus, but Jesus wasn't afraid to tell people to confront the sin in their lives. None of us are perfect. We are all sinners.
