More Info
A few years ago, we finished construction of our Family Life Center. As we did, a hundred adults and children -- with coats and candles, because the power wasn't connected yet -- gathered to write scriptures on the concrete floor. That's who we are at Spirit of Joy. For every 270 people who come through the door for worship, the door opens about 500 times for who come for Sunday School and Bible Studies and other faith groups. We stand on God's Word!

Who We Are
Lutheran Christians in Mission for Christ
We focus deep down into the Word of God.
Then we move out into the world in mission!
Then we move out into the world in mission!
The simplest way to understand Lutherans is to hear the story of Martin Luther. Luther grew up five hundred years ago at a time when people were taught to be afraid of God. A frightened Luther spent hours each day in the confessional booth, afraid that if he forgot to confess one little sin, God would cast him into hell. Then Luther read the Bible -- not an easy feat in the days before the printing press. When Luther finally read God's Word, he discovered God's amazing grace.
Word and grace! That's the key understand-
ing of what it means to be Lutheran! Those are the two pillars of our faith. As a church, we strive to follow the Word of God and be instruments of God's grace.

Who We Are as Lutherans
Word and Grace
Every heritage has gifts. Thus, we're glad to be liturgical and Lutheran. But more important, we're blessed to be Christian!
+ We believe that God created.
+ We believe that Jesus came in love, won our forgiveness through his crucifixion, and rose victoriously to give us hope.
+ We believe in the Holy Spirit and find great joy through his power!
+ We also believe that each denomination is "a piece of the Christian pie." At our best, we point to our center -- Jesus Christ. At our worst, we stand at the edge of our pie pieces and are suspicious of the next group over.
Come and join us each week as we strive to point to Jesus, our center, our savior, our friend.
