What is Faith Journey?
Faith Journey is a web and mobile app that provides students with a secure, digital, and private album that captures moments in the school day that help shape their faith. These ‘standing stones’ come out of faith intersections, such as seeing God’s role in a science activity or finding spiritual themes in a literature lesson.
At any time, students are able to look back and REMEMBER these moments. Students are able to put REFLECTIONS in their albums. Parents can see first-hand the EVIDENCE of how their child’s faith is being strengthened through your school.

Delivers a solution for accreditation requirements. Faith Journey aids administrators with three teacher evaluations and end-of-the-year reporting.
Faith Journey is a valuable tool for collecting, organizing, and tracking students’ faith development activities. The examples of faith growth over time and the specific feedback available to administrators provides invaluable evidentiary data for school improvement purposes.
Faith Journey is an excellent tool, which provides evidence of our commitment to equip and nurture students, so they can impact the world for Christ.
In just a short amount of time, our family has been blessed by Faith Journey. My children love when they are able to post new Footprints at school. I’m extremely thankful to have this app which I will be able to see how their faith has grown throughout their time at DCS.
Faith Journey helps parents, Christian schools, and churches collaborate in their shared responsibility:
fostering faith formation in young people.
