Joy Church is a rapidly growing multi-generational, multi-cultural church with people from almost every denominational background including those with no church background at all. Senior Pastor Jim Frease Dave Goldner shares, “At Joy Church you will find genuine and loving people, a sense of humor, and lots of joy! If you don’t like organized religion, you will love Joy Church where we believe in “organized relationship”. We are not about religion, we are about relationship…with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. We are not about tradition, but the liberating Word of God. And we are not about enduring life, we are all about enjoying life!”

Joy Church one of the fastest growing churches in the region, growing from a humble beginning with only 18 members in 2003 to a present day attendance of about 1,800 each weekend.  The church is located at 10085 Lebanon Road in Mt.
