Darrin Patrick founded The Journey in 2002 with a desire to plant a church in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. Darrin is Vice President of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network, and also serves as the executive director for another church planting movement called 360-St. Louis, a network joining the church and the business community in planting gospel-centered churches. Darrin’s passion is to equip the church to live the gospel in the world. Darrin’s first book, Church Planter: The Man, The Message, The Mission, will be released in August 2010. Today, The Journey runs seven services across four campuses, while continuing to be aggressive in church planting in St. Louis and beyond.

Darrin is married to his high school sweetheart, Amie, and they have four beautiful children: Glory, Grace, Drew, and Delaney. Darrin enjoys vacations with his family, basketball, good food, good books, good movies, and weightlifting.
