Spirit of Joy Community Church
SERVING OUR VALLEY SINCE 1996. As part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), our desire is to minister to the needs of the whole person. We are committed to growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ and sharing that experience with others. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here!
Join us at Spirit of Joy for Uplifting Worship
Sunday Worship for All Ages - 10:00 AM
We blend traditional and contemporary styles plus familiar hymns with a touch of liturgy. A heartfelt message from God’s Word will lift your spirits and bring JOY to your life. Our friendly atmosphere welcomes youngsters for a special Children’s Time and Joy Kids’ Church. Stay for coffee and sweets afterward and meet new friends
Nurturing Faith in Young People
At Spirit of Joy we offer opportunities for our youth to connect, learn, and grow in their faith. Each program, from Sunday’s Joy Kids to Middle School Confirmation and High School Youth Group, includes fellowship time, Bible teaching, music and fun. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where young people can explore their faith, build friendships, and experience God’s presence in every aspect of their lives.
