My name is Jonny Gelnett and my family and I started attending The Journey in January 2022. I have a background in youth ministry since 2012 helping lead high school age students as a volunteer. In 2014 I was a part of a church plant in Harrisburg while attending Messiah College. I worked in the Agape center leading college students to serve as ESL teachers, work with the youth, and engage in community outreach for about 4 years. In an international context, I have built a strong relationship in Trujillo, Peru, and have continued serving abroad in various ministry and construction opportunities since 2014-current.

My heart is to encourage our youth to become leaders of their own lives by being rooted in their identity in Christ. We have all been created for a purpose. For our limited time here on earth, we have an opportunity to be the best versions of ourselves. I’m on a journey to be the best version of myself by deconstructing my faith and creating it anew. I am excited to lead with curiosity the youth here at The Journey.
