Ministry background

Originally from Southern Illinois, Patrick moved from Kansas City, Missouri to St. Louis and founded The Journey in 2001.^[2] The church has since grown to include more than three thousand members and multiple campuses in the metropolitan St. Louis area.^[3] The church was scrutinized by the Missouri Baptist Convention and received media attention regarding one of its outreach ministries, "Theology at the Bottleworks," due to its being held at Schlafly Bottleworks, a site which serves alcohol.^[4]

Patrick authored Church Planter: The Man, the Message, the Mission, the foreword of which was written by Mark Driscoll and was positively remarked upon by such Reformed Evangelical leaders as Tim Keller, Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, Matt Chandler, and Ed Stetzer. He is among the contributors to Don't Call It a Comeback: The Old Faith for a New Day.
