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 school year, our nursery room is staffed from 9:15-10:45am. 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.
