Lead Pastor

Michael and his family moved to Clinton in 2014 where he served as an assistant pastor at a local church. In August of 2022 he became the lead pastor at Journey.

Gary was born in Maquoketa, Iowa. He and Mary moved to Clinton, Iowa in 1995 and joined Journey Church. They have two sons, seven grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Gary retired from Kmart after 34 years and many moves. He loves the outdoors, and his favorite activities include golf, fishing and spending time with family. His trust and faith in the Lord has been encouraged and grown deeper while being at Journey Church.

Mike is a born-again child of Jesus Christ, the husband of his childhood sweetheart, Janet, and the father of their daughter, Malee. He is blessed to be retired from his wage-earning career and available to serve God and others as God directs.

Jeff and his family started attending Journey (then E-free) shortly after moving to Clinton in 2004. He credits the time here at the church and especially the Men of Honor for his coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus. If you do not see him on Sunday morning he is probably working with the Audio Visual Ministry or travelling with his family. His wife Ann and his kids Andrew and Annika have enjoyed serving Journey as Deaconess, on the Music Team and through volunteering in many other areas.

Jeff and Ann work at their State Farm insurance office, they have been married for 28 years and are blessed to have been able to raise their kids here in Clinton and in Journey Church.

Daryl is a follower of Jesus. He and his wife Wendy have been attending Journey Church since 1998. Daryl enjoys playing music at Church or with family and friends. Spending time with children and grandchildren is a gift and a blessing. Trust God for the unexpected and let Him surprise you by doing the unexplainable.
