Inside Sojourn
Photo Blog: Sojourn’s New Home In J-Town
Yesterday, you read a letter from the pastors and you watched a video introduction by Pastor Daniel, detailing the swift addition of a third Sojourn campus: this one in the J-town (Jeffersontown) area of Louisville. Head over to that article now if you didn’t see it, and you’ll learn the details and the reason for the suddenness of this news. Also, remember that we’ll hold an open forum at this facility at 1:30pm this Sunday, May 2.
Here, courtesy of deacon Dan Canales, are photos of the campus, and photos from this past Sunday when the Lakeside Baptist Church members voted to become a part of Sojourn.

A pond on the campus property. To reiterate from the pastors’ letter to us, this land and building were owned by Lakeside. We are not assuming debt for the property, we’re assuming the property free and clear.
This, my friends, is the baptismal. Wild, huh?

Nice “welcome” space.
Pastor Daniel preached there at this past Sunday’s service, during which the Lakeside members voted to merge into Sojourn.

Sojourn also led worship during the service. Here, worship leader Kristen Smith chats with Lakeside members.
These members are anxious to spread the gospel throughout J-Town with us.
Whether we each live in J-Town, Germantown, Shelby Park, St. Matthews, New Albany or other parts of this region, we’re a part of something bigger than ourselves. When God instills vision, He also equips His followers to carry out that vision. Let’s be faithful to carry out Sojourn’s vision of gospel transformation in ourselves as individuals, in our church, this city and the world.

This is so exciting! Praise God for the work He is doing in our city!
I love seeing all of the older faces. It is so exciting to see the body of Sojourn reflect the diversity of Christians in Louisville.
Amen!
How exciting and encouraging it is to see faces outside of the 20s and 30s (or at the least outside the majority of Sojourn’s demographic) catching the fire for the Gospel and the vision Sojourn has for spreading it from this City to the world. I am so thankful for a church that not only has the fire for the Gospel message but is burning so bright that others want to be apart of it and have the wisdom and discernment to make such a bold move! Very excited to merge/partner with this church and take the gospel to the J-town area in a way we haven’t thus far.
I love what God is doing here! Thank you God for such a sweet gift!
This is so amazing! God has his own Vision Campaign, and it is much bigger than I could ever imagine. Praise God!
Swift action is the understatement of the year! God has great plans for the place!
Man, I’m so thankful for this blessing the Lord has bestowed upon us and for these people who desire to join us in our vision for Louisville! Praise the LORD!
Amen to the comments! My husband and I were invited by a Lakeside member to attend this wonderful service and meet her friends at the church. What precious and kind people! Their joy and excitement was contagious! What fun it will be to get to know the Lakeside members and worship together. I believe that the hand of God was in every part of the process. Thank you God and Lakeside! Aint God good!
This is great. I am so thankful for how God is moving! AND I think the picture of Daniel hugging (or getting ready to hug) the older gentleman is so great. I seriously smile every time I look at it. Love it!
God is great and greatly to be Praised!!! Let us pray for our leaders for strength, wisdom and discernment as we move forward and expand for the God’s Kingdom. This is wonderful!!
WOWSERS!!! PTL, baby… PTL!! i pray that many of our friends in the j-town area not attending a church will be moved by God to start going and that Sojourn will have the strength, knowledge, finances and wisdom to expand in a God honoring manner.
this is amazing!
It is awesome to see what God is doing in this City. I think God’s Vision for our body is beyond our comprehension right now. I look forward to being in this. God is posting up the pegs for his tent to cover this city big time!!!
This is so like our amazing God! “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.” Eph. 4:20-21
