"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord".
Luke 2:10-11
Come be part of providing the J2B experience and share the story of Jesus' birth
It takes many villages to put on an event like Journey 2 Bethlehem. Each year approximately 450 volunteers join forces with the shared mission of providing the community a place where they can experience the wonder of Jesus' story amidst the hectic Christmas season.
These volunteers come from churches across the region, as well as community members, and people who have simply been impacted by J2B.
Options for serving:
Costumed cast; musical performances inside church; ticketing, cast care; and more.....
If you would like to get involved, please reach out!
