What we believe...

OUR MISSION

Spirit of Joy is a community where lives are transformed by the love of Jesus!

OUR VALUES

We have four core values: Worship, Inclusion, Community, and Service. 

Worship—we are rooted in the ancient traditions of the Church and also comprehensible to people in our current time and place. 

Inclusion—all are welcome, and at Spirit of Joy all means all! 

Community—this is a place where no one ever needs to cry alone. 

Service—we exist for the sake of our members, our city, and our world. 

OUR STATEMENT OF WELCOME

When we break bread together at Spirit of Joy, we like to say, “This is God's table, not ours.” We believe this invitation and theology extend to everything we do inside and outside our church building.

All are welcome!

We welcome the LGBTQ+ community as well as those of any nation, age, ability, ethnicity, belief, economic class, gender and others who have been hurt, estranged, or made to feel outside the family of God. We remember that what holds us together is not uniformity of thought, doctrine, race, gender, sexual orientation, or politics, but the grace of God.
