Joy! Lutheran Church is not your typical mainline protestant church. With a vibrant contemporary worship service at our core, we are an affirming and inclusive community where everyone is welcome. Whether you’re young or old, single or married, straight or LGBTQ+, a lifelong believer or just exploring your faith, you have a place here at Joy! At Joy! relationships matter. Foremost, our relationship with Christ is number one. It is through that relationship that God grows us up into the people God has in mind; people love others the same way Christ loves us. Second, relationships with one another matter. #NobodySitsAlone. We believe that church should feel like family. Small groups are a vital part of DNA! We celebrate diversity and strive to create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and loved. Our congregation is a melting pot of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, all coming together to worship and serve. Come and experience the Christ-centered joy, love, and inclusivity that define Joy! Lutheran Church.
