Neighborhood Outreach

In addition to going out and meeting the people of our local community, Spirit of Joy Neighborhood Outreach Teams regularly invites and hosts the Bloodmobile and organizes Thrivent matching funds events in which everyone is invited to take part in.

Spirit of Joy also offers Community Garden plots each year to those who sign-up early and tours of our Prayer Gardens are also offered throughout the growing season.

If you wish to become involved with any of these ministries please contact Daryl at 333-2004 or email daryl@spiritofjoy.net

Caring Connections

Community Service

From our inception, we’ve aimed to be a church that is involved in assisting the poor and needy in our community and around the world.

Teams from Spirit of Joy volunteer their services on occasion at The Banquet, the Food To You Mobile Food Pantry, and Habitat for Humanity. Spirit of Joy encourages all partners to volunteer in the community. It's so easy and there's no greater reward!

Mission & Justice

Spirit of Joy has provided and continues to provide financial support to full-time missionaries in foreign lands.

Samuel Eisele has committed for one year of service to Young Adults in Global Mission. Samuel will be working in Mexico starting in September. He will be involved in classroom teaching in English, art and recreation.

SOJ volunteers have also traveled to communities within our state to assist on construction mission projects.
