WE EXIST TO CONNECT WITH OUR COMMUNITY, GROW OUR FAITH & SERVE OTHERS THROUGH CHRIST.

You Are Always Welcome Here

If its been a long time since you’ve been to church, or if you’ve never been, Joy has your back!

WHEN?

SERVICE INFORMATION

Our service is a mix of the traditional Lutheran service structure with contemporary music. Yes, we have drums and guitars for Joyful praise. Yes, we have Scripture and Gospel Readings and we have Communion every other week. For Communion we invite all to come forward. If you are a confirmed Lutheran, please receive communion, if you want a personal blessing, please fold your arms so we know.

WHERE DO I PARK

We have designated Visitor Parking spots reserved with green signs. But you can park anywhere you like, our lot is not big enough for the golf cart thing.

WHAT ABOUT KIDS?

We encourage kids of all ages in our church throughout the entire service. Jesus knew the importance of teaching children about God and we follow His lead. Kids’ bags with crayons and coloring sheets are located outside of our sanctuary to keep them busy. The Children’s Message is right before the Sermon. We have a Nursery & Cry Room located directly off the sanctuary if your little ones are too enthusiastic, but Pastor Mark has 4 kids so nothing bothers him! Our Nursery does not have a care provider, so we ask you to stay in the room with your children, but our service is broadcast in there so you won’t miss anything.

(TLDR: Bring ’em)

WHAT DO I WEAR?

You can wear whatever you’re comfortable worshiping in. Some members come in their Sunday best while others come in jeans. We all come to hear God’s word, receive his Blessing and praise Jesus.

Seriously, come as you are, you look perfect.

WILL I BE SINGLED OUT AS A GUEST?

No. Never, that’s just awkward.

You might get a welcome hug though. We have a lot of friendly members!

DO I HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED?

Again, no. Everyone is Welcome at Joy. If you want a baptism though, we can certainly help you with that.

WHERE DO I SIT?

We don’t have assigned seats, sit where you like. We only ask that you sign the red information books which are passed around during service. We also have handicapped seating if you need assistance or more room.

DO I HAVE TO GIVE AN OFFERING?

No. God’s love is free and so is our service. Just enjoy the worship, community & music. Maybe have a doughnut, they’re free too.
