Common questions about The Journey Church

Is The Journey Church a licensed UK visa sponsor?
Yes. The Journey Church in Lisburn holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2019. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
What visa routes can The Journey Church sponsor?
The Journey Church is licensed for Tier 2 Ministers of Religion. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
Where is The Journey Church based?
The register lists The Journey Church at Journey Church Unit 3b Moira Road Retail Park, 45 Moira Road, Lisburn, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, BT28 1RH. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
How current is this information?
This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number NI623523. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
