On February 11, 1954 Baptist residents of Riverview met in a school auditorium to discuss establishing a church building.
On June 2, 1954 the meeting to organize the Riverview Heights United Baptist Church was held. The name was later changed to Riverview United Baptist Church in 1975.
At the end of 1954 the Home Mission Board bought land in a central Riverview location. In 1956 the church building had been erected but only the basement was suitable for holding services. Much of the work was done by the members. The church was dedicated May 11, 1958.
The Middle Coverdale United Baptist Church expressed a desire to unite with the Riverview Church and 16 new members were added on February 12, 1961. In 1962 it was decided to add a Christian Education Centre, and a sod turning ceremony was held October 11. Dedication of the Centre was held February 10, 1963.
In 2018, a proposal was put forward for the Riverview Baptist Church to join the Journey Church. The motion was passed in June 2018 and Riverview Baptist Church became the third location of the multi-site Journey Church.
In 1961, Brentwood United Baptist Church was formed. On January 25, 1966, the church building at the corner of Bessborough and Dickson Boulevard was dedicated. The men of the congregation completed much of the work themselves.
Over the years, membership fluctuated with a peak in 2000. From then onwards, numbers steadily dwindled. In 2003, efforts were made to modernize the sanctuary in order to attract a younger demographic, but numbers continued to fall. In 2007, conversations with Allison Baptist were in motion about the possibility of Brentwood becoming a second location.
In 2008, Brentwood United Baptist Church became a satellite of Allison Baptist. In 2013, the multi-site church was renamed The Journey Church and now has three campuses: Allison, Brentwood, and Riverview.
The Baptist work in the west of Moncton began under the guidance of the Salisbury United Baptist Church. Meetings were held in the old schoolhouse at Sand Hill. On October 23, 1892 a house of worship was dedicated at Allison. This body of believers remained a part of the Salisbury church until May 14, 1919 when twenty-two people organized the Allison United Baptist Church.
For many years the church was on a multiple pastoral charge. In 1958 the church became self-supporting with its own pastor. The church building was enlarged in 1983 with a Christian Education wing.
In the mid-1990s an expansion project was completed, allowing space for 350 people in each service. By 2006, weekly attendance was edging steadily towards capacity. By 2008, more than 600 people were attending the three services offered.
That same year, in order to create space for a rapidly growing congregation, Allison Baptist Church began operating as a multi-site ministry with a campus in the Brentwood Baptist Church building.
By 2013 the church was renamed Journey Church and now has three sites: Allison, Brentwood, and Riverview.
