Spirit of Joy! Lutheran Church


Outreach

Outreach at Spirit of Joy is centered around the consistent Biblical message that God cares for the physical well-being of all of us. We believe that our ministries should start with personal contact and should be built around relationships in our congregation, in our community and in our world. We believe that the one everlasting miracle performed by Jesus was the miracle of love and we look for ways to be a part of that miracle.
