As any great journey, this one began before a single step was taken. In 1999, after spending a month visiting the majestic state of Alaska, Toby Stevens found himself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually drawn to The Last Frontier.    Believing that the core of Christianity is founded upon people's love for God and their love for others, Toby and Ellen dreamed of establishing a place where people could come together in their worship of God and their need for relationships.
		There could be no greater place to spread this message of authentic life and true connection, than in a land of such beauty and wonder.  In 2005, after graduating from seminary in St. Louis, the Stevens began their trek northward.
	In June, Toby and Ellen landed in Anchorage excited, terrified, and elated.  Joined by Nate and Beckie Nicholls in July, they immediately began sharing their hope and passion with all they met.  The dream that began so long ago was becoming reality.   As a new church, The Journey began meeting in Toby and Ellen's home.  Soon, we moved to the Russian Jack Ski Chalet, and six months later the group relocated to the Marston Theatre in the Loussac Library.    If you're looking for a place to crack open the scriptures, ask challenging questions, or draw closer to God - we'd love for you to stop by.  Join us on The Journey.
