Connecting...

"JOY is a living, growing community of Jesus' followers spreading His love."

First and foremost, JOY Lutheran Church is a community that is constantly changing. As people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, they start living their lives centered on moving others towards Him. This happens in a variety of ways including prayer, Bible study, community events, volunteering, and serving with grace. Come be a part of the growth and movement. Worship at JOY Lutheran Church and start your amazing Christian journey!

Connecting through Word
Pastor John Raddatz brings to his pastorship at JOY many years of experience, both as a pastor and an Army chaplain which have "seasoned" him well with the attributes of patience, leadership, and servanthood to God and His church. We thank God that He sent him to JOY!

Connecting through Music Music is an essential part of worship to our Lord. George Loose, JOY's worship director, carefully chooses the right songs each Sunday morning. Through a mix of hymns and contemporary music, George enhances the experience of coming to worship by bringing song and scripture together and encouraging worshipers to take their love of God back out into the world in which they live and work.

Music Ministry The Joyful Ringers perform during the worship service along with George Loose and the Worship Team. The hand bell group is led by Jackie Abbott and meets every Tuesday at 7:00pm for practice in the office on Beltway 8. Jackie always says, "If you can count, you can play the hand bells." There is always room for more ringers! Come on out. You'll have a lot of fun. Jackie also plays her violin on special occasions. What a talented lady!
