WELCOME TO JOY
We are a community of Jesus-followers who believe in the power of God's radical grace, unconditional love, and welcome for all.
ALL ARE WELCOME
WHEN WE SAY ALL, IT MEANS ALL.
COME AS YOU ARE.
We extend a welcome to those who are single, divorced, married, widowed, or if your relationship status is “complicated”.
We love families, no matter how you define them. We are glad you are here whether you come every Sunday or if this is your first time at our church or any church at all. You are welcome here if you know the bible backwards and forwards, or have never really read it, if you know Jesus or are just curious to hear what he is all about.
We welcome you if you have doubts about “organized religion” or are a “cradle Christian”. We welcome liberals, conservatives, moderates, and undecideds. If you cheer for the right team, or don’t like sports, you are welcome here.
We especially welcome those who could use a prayer right now, or an assurance that God loves them, those who are struggling, and those who are doing okay.
Whoever you are, whatever your past or present – God welcomes you and so do we. We are glad that you are here!
