A living, breathing expression of God's joy! Join us Sunday mornings for livestreamed in-person worship at 9:30 am!

Joy Reigns worship has an uplifting and energetic praise band, meaningful messages, warm and friendly people to welcome you! Joy Reigns Church, established in 2004, is a congregation under development in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We exist that all may know Jesus Christ and become his fully devoted followers. We would be privileged to introduce you to Jesus and help you dis

cover his love for you. We believe that his love and grace are the most powerful gifts you will ever be offered in your whole life! They are the root of the JOY we offer to you as a community of faith. If you are new to the church, we will introduce you to the Bible and the Christian faith in life-giving ways. We will share worship with you through video, contemporary songs and relevant, story-filled messages. We have no expectations that you come with a church background but only that you come seeking to learn about God and his love for you. We all come as sinners to be forgiven and so each of us comes seeking a new relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We dress informally that you might come and be comfortable among us. We often stand and clap in praise to God but you are free to sit and just observe --- at least for a while. We provide lyrics on video (we have very few traditional hymns) so that you will find it easy to follow along. We want you to experience our friendship and joy and before each service we pray you will discover God's presence and spirit in our midst. If you are a long-time Christian looking for a new church, you will find a community breathing with excitement. We challenge people to deepen their discipleship. We are committed to a mission that requires that we make a difference in this community and in the world. We pray that God will help us catch the wave of spiritual growth God is building in this community.

We’re still looking for a few extra helpers this summer for our Little Food Pantry Ministry!

With vacations, busy schedules, and one of our volunteers retiring, we could use some extra hands to help check and restock the pantry throughout the summer months.

Whether you can help once, weekly, or whenever you’re available, it all makes a difference for neighbors who rely on the pantry.

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has released a statement on the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

“As the ELCA, we must speak plainly: violence rooted in hatred is sin. We condemn Islamophobia and acknowledge its rise in recent years. Our church affirms that “anti-Muslim hatred is antithetical to our Christian faith” (A Declaration of the ELCA to the Muslim Community), for we are called to love our neighbor in ways that cast out fear (1 John 4:18).”
