SOJOURN EAST ASSETS<br />
P R O P E R T Y A S S E T S<br />
Sojourn Church East sits on 10.22 acres: 5.22 acres of developed land, 5 acres of green space<br />
on Rudy Lane. This includes a playground and a baseball backstop. Structurally it includes<br />
the building that houses worship space, Sojourn kids wing, Sojourn East staff offices and<br />
Calvin Presbyterian Church’s worship space and offices.<br />

Sojourn Church East is filled with young families, but has a growing demographic of families<br />
of older children and empty nesters. Sojourn Kids averages 320+ kids on a Sunday morning<br />
between both services and mobilizes 40-50 volunteers weekly. The weekly volunteer need is<br />
60 servants. The church is comprised of very skilled individuals including business owners,<br />
medical professionals, educators, community leaders, locally and nationally recognized<br />
theologians, professionals with sports expertise and more.<br />
Sojourn Church East has 8 Full-Time and 21 Part-Time staff members. We have 20 Elders, 15<br />
of which are non-staff Elders. Beyond the Sunday services, there are over 35 community<br />
groups that meet across the city. The majority of groups meet in the East End of Louisville<br />
surrounding St. Matthews. However, some groups meet as in varying areas such as Seneca<br />
Gardens, Prospect, Middletown and Oldham County.<br />
Some of the other opportunities that Sojourn Church East already offers are well-attended<br />
Women and Men’s Bible Studies, Equip Classes, Care-based ministries like grief support and<br />
men’s and women’s sexual integrity groups and S2, a thriving youth group. S2 has incredible<br />
potential for growth considering the number of children that currently attend Sojourn Kids.<br />
We host many events over the course of the year with both outreach and community building<br />
emphasis. Some of these events are Trunk or Treat, Member Potlucks, quarterly Work Days in<br />
<strong>Windy</strong> <strong>Hills</strong>, Affordable Christmas, Vacation Bible School, Medical Clinic and services to<br />
celebrate Easter and Christmas Eve.<br />
