Welcome to Spirit of Joy

Progressive — Inclusive — Intentional — Christian — Open & Affirming
  • where you and everything about you are welcome
  • where you can speak the truth you know and still hear something new
  • where social justice and spirituality walk hand-in-hand
  • where you are treasured as a gift from God
Our worship is steeped in Christian tradition, but it's not traditional. Our communion table is open to all, no exceptions. We value your spiritual  gifts. We listen together for God's call. And we seek consensus in  matters of ministry and mission.

Not everyone will find our openness comfortable. However, we trust you to bring the best of yourself and we will love you for it. 

You'll find recovering fundamentalists and modern-day contemplatives among us, the scripturally-saturated and the spiritually-wrung-dry. We welcome all ages, races, abilities, identities, orientations, incomes, and political persuasions. 

You probably won't find anyone here just like you, but that's good.  You are your own unique gift from God to the world.

All this is possible because what we have in common is greater than anything that divides us. Each one of us walks the path with Jesus who reminds us we are loved as children of God.

Blessings and Peace,

David Cobb, pastor

"Unconditional love and acceptance is why I'm here"

"A progressive church in the South Metro? We had to check it out" 

"I thought I'd never find a church where my questions were welcome and I'd be welcome, too" 

"When we saw that gay families were welcome, we couldn't believe it; we knew we'd found a home" 

"Finally, a Jesus-centered community that cares more about doing good than being right"
