Our Pastors

Jesse & Missy Quiroz

Senior Pastors

Jesse and his wife, Missy, launched Journey Church on June 7, 2009 with a vision to build a church where people genuinely feel at home. Together, they have led with authenticity, compassion, and a deep love for their community, helping create a place where lives are transformed through the love of Jesus.

Before planting Journey, Jesse and Missy served for several years in ministry across Missouri, Arizona, and Ohio, faithfully investing in people and building strong, life-giving church communities. Jesse is a graduate of Valor Christian College in Columbus, Ohio, and continued his pastoral studies through Global University in Springfield, Missouri.

Family is at the center of everything they do with their three children and two grandchildren. Their greatest joy is seeing both their family and their church family grow in faith, purpose, and impact.
