Partnering with Group Mission, Joy! Middle School and High School students will be heading to Colorado for our Week of Hope mission trip. 

Week of Hope participants will help greatly in each community through various projects. Like many places around the country, the affluent developments on the edge of town don’t tell the whole story of many people with unmet needs. While you spend time with the elderly, the disabled, and the homeless, you might just realize that through serving others, yours is the life being changed.

This location is unique in that projects are planned in Fort Collins, Greeley, Longmont and Loveland, covering the whole Northern Colorado region.  At 5,000 feet above sea level, the views in northern Colorado will take your breath away. Being surrounded by beauty can mask the challenges and struggles of the community. Northern Colorado is home to many neighboring communities including Greeley, Longmont, Loveland, Fort Collins, and Wellington—all with unique needs. 

​Youth Ministry at Joy! Lutheran Church

We meet every Sunday September through May at 11:45 am at Joy! in the Youth Zone.

Welcome to Joy!’s Youth Ministry – a space where middle school and high school students can grow in faith, share food, make & bring their friends, and have tons of fun!

Our gatherings are full of energy and connection as we explore life’s big questions, dive into meaningful discussions, and enjoy activities like laser tag, bowling, and serving at Feed My Starving Children.

No matter who you are, where you come from, or what your story is, all are welcome here. We celebrate diversity and strive to create a space where every student feels safe, valued, and loved. We encourage students to bring their thoughts, questions, and curiosity as we build a community rooted in love, acceptance, and growth.
