Our Vision
Compelled by Christ's love and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will become a community of Jesus followers who:
- are a vibrant, diverse multigenerational community of people who experience life as the family of Christ.
- are serving our congregation and community with our finances, through caring ministry and connecting with children.
- have a place of our own from which to expand these ministries and their impact.
Our Gathering Place
Meet our Pastor
Dave Hall is Joy’s pastor. He was born in Colorado Springs and spent most of his growing up years there while also living in Wesel, Germany and Lawton, OK.
He met his wife, Stacy, at Concordia University - Nebraska and they were married at Trinity Lutheran in Miles City, Stacy’s home church.
They are blessed with two adult children, who live in Pueblo and Ft. Collins, CO.
If you think they’re empty nesters, guess again. They have a dog who is a schnauzer poodle mix (aka schnoodle) named Tiny, who is blind.
Stacy and Dave enjoy hiking, quiet Friday nights with pizza and a movie, and getting out to enjoy live music. Dave also enjoys rooting for the Denver Broncos.
Dave earned a BA in Communication/Theater Arts from Concordia University in Seward, NE an a M. Div. from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO. He has served congregations in Leavenworth, Colby, and Topeka, KS as well as Colorado Springs, and Boulder, CO.

Distracted Disciples or Focused Followers?
June 29, 2025 - We all go through periods where we are distracted. Sometimes we are distracted by how other people react, or by our relationships, or by the stuff we want, or by our past - both good and bad. It can be hard to focus at times. Jesus is leading the way forward through this world. How is he leading you? What is he leading you towards? How is he growing you as a disciple?

Adopted
June 22, 2025 - What is it like to be adopted? What is it like for a family to adopt a child and bring them into their family? As Paul talks with us in his letter to the Jesus-followers in Galatia, he talks about what it means to be adopted by God. Tune into the message as we take some time to unpack this powerful image about our identity.

Life with God
June 15, 2025 - When life is going well, we feel we are blessed. When life is hard, we feel we are cursed. No matter where life takes us, God is in the middle of it and sometimes he does his best work in the middle of our mess.

Witnessing
June 8, 2025 - Every Christian has a story about how God worked to bring them to Jesus and grow them as one of his followers. What's your story? Is it like St. Patrick's, St. Paul's, or St. Peter's, or maybe like the people at Pentecost in Acts 2?
Every Christian lives in a mission field. What's the culture and language of the mission field you live in? Is it like Jerusalem at Pentecost in 33 AD, or more like Ireland in 432 AD, or like what St. Paul encountered at Mars Hill around 50 AD?
What needs to happen for the Holy Spirit to penetrate the hearts and minds of the people in your mission field so that they experience the reality that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved?

Witnesses
June 1, 2025 - What does it mean to be a witness? We witness things whenever we see, hear, or experience them. What have you witnessed Jesus do? Jesus is living and active today. Whenever we experience love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control, we are experiencing God at work. What have you witnessed? Who can you tell?

Resurrection Revelations: The River of Life
May 25, 2025 - What is paradise for you? Your version of paradise may have some similarities to the paradise that is waiting in the world that is coming next. It may also have some differences. The Bible begins with a garden with God walking with his people. It ends with one as well, along with a New Jerusalem.

Resurrection Revelations: Who is Worthy?
May 4, 2025 -Our battle with worth starts at a young age and it often involves looking at the wrong metrics or measures. In Revelation 5, an angel is scurrying around heaven looking for someone who is worthy? Who does the angel find and what does that mean for you and me today?
