Welcome to Joy!

We will encourage everyone to build relationships and have conversations with those on the margin of faith and learn to share our experience of God with them. ​

​​We will be vigilant in learning to welcome and value the people who are marginalized (Differently Abled, the LGBTQ+ Community, Young Adults).

​Joy sees the newcomer. We welcome them warmly and we even change what we say and how we say it to make people feel welcome. Now we are going to build upon this strength so people are not only seen but readily received into this community.
