Joy Ministry
Bringing the Hearts of Women together by encouraging, equipping and empowering for the glory of God

JOY Ministry is committed to bringing ladies of all ages and backgrounds together for the purpose of glorifying God.  Our theme for the year is “LOVE IS A VERB”.   Our scripture is “Love others as well as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:37, The Message).  Our purpose is to take an active roll in leading others into a personal, intimate love-relationship with God.  We work towards this goal by offering on-going Bible studies and trainings, events, conferences and retreats.
