PLAN YOUR VISIT
We Can't Wait to Welcome You
Christ Journey Coral Gables has been part of this neighborhood for nearly 100 years — and there’s nothing we love more than meeting someone new. Here’s everything you need to walk through the door feeling ready.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARRIVE
1
Parking
Pull into our main parking lot. We typically have plenty of room, but during some popular services and events, the lot may fill up. Additional parking can be found on the street.
2
Walk In
You’ll be greeted at the main entrance — someone will be there to say hello, and point you wherever you need to go. Coffee is available just inside.
3
Dropping Off Kids?
Head to the CJ Kids check-in area. If you have trouble finding it, one of our staff or leaders will be happy to assist you! We’ll collect some basic information, then you’ll receive matching identification stickers—your child will wear a name tag, and you’ll keep the matching tag. After the service, simply show your tag to the CJ Kids leader to pick up your child.
4
Find a Seat
Doors open 30 Minutes before service. Sit wherever feels right — no assigned seating, no rules. Service begins on time.
CJ Kids — A Place They'll Want to Come Back To
CJ Kids runs every Sunday during all services for 6-weeks to 11 years old. Safe, high-energy, and honestly designed for kids — not just supervised babysitting.
First Time Visiting?
Let us know you’re coming — we’d love to welcome you personally. Fill out a quick Connect Card and our team will reach out before Sunday.
Ready to take your next step?
We’d love to see you this Sunday. Whether you’re new to Christ Journey or a long-time member, there’s a place for you here.
