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.

Spirit of Joy welcomes all children to worship but realizes that sometimes very young children need to leave for short periods of time. The Spirit of Joy nursery is currently not staffed but remains available for parent and child use on Sunday mornings. Our nursery has a live video feed of our Worship Services so families may continue to participate in worship.
