Spirit of Joy: Home

Welcome to Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church!

Join us this Sunday to experience the presence of our mighty and merciful God through warm hospitality, a variety of music (from classical hymns to contemporary praise), inspirational messages, and visual arts. Bread and wine are set at the Lord’s table each week.

During the 11:00 service, our professional Nursery Coordinator plus volunteers will provide loving care for children ages 6 weeks through 36 months. There is a P.A. in the nursery as well, so families who wish to stay with their children may continue to hear the service.
