A Church For The Journey

Journey Church exists to help people live adventurously expectant as they take their next step with God. Inspired by Romans 8:15 MSG, we believe the Christian life is not about standing still, but about following the Spirit with the confidence of sons and daughters who know they are loved by their Father. Every day is an invitation to trust God more deeply, embrace what He is doing, and move forward in faith. No matter where you are on your journey, we want to help you discover what it looks like to live with open hands, a willing heart, and a constant expectation that God is not finished writing your story.

What We Believe

Why Another Church In Jackson, Missouri?

It's simple. The people of Jackson love Jackson. This is a community built on strong families, deep relationships, and a genuine pride in the place they call home. From youth sports and school events to neighborhood gatherings and local businesses, life in Jackson is shaped by connection and a commitment to the next generation. As Jackson continues to grow, so does the opportunity to help people find something even greater than a place to belong. While many have a faith background, there are still countless people searching for authentic community, meaningful relationships, and a deeper connection with God. We believe The Journey Church is uniquely positioned to meet that need.

Meet Our Pastors

Brandon and Whitney Tanksley are the Lead Pastor of The Journey Church. A church built on the belief that life with God is a journey meant to be lived adventurously expectant.

Brandon currently serves as a Chaplain with Crown Hospice, walking closely with individuals and families through some of life’s most meaningful and difficult moments. Whitney is a 4th grade teacher at South Elementary in Jackson, where she pours into the next generation on a daily basis. Together, they are raising three kids, Camdon, Tucker, and Aubrey, who keep them busy and deeply connected to the Jackson community. Their boys are actively involved in sports throughout the area, and as a family, they love spending time outdoors and embracing every adventure they can find.
