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.

God's With You: Don't Be Afraid
August 10, 2025 - Fear can be both helpful and harmful. Fear can lead us to be cautious, or it can make us freeze. We have rational fears, like being afraid of Grizzly Bears. Yet, sometimes our fears fall into the category of False Expectations Appearing Real. Those are the times we get anxious about something that isn't worth getting anxious about. Fear and Faith have an interesting relationship. We want to use the brains God has given us and avoid putting God to the test. We also want to step out in faith, leaning on the God who leads us.

Questions for God: What should I do?
August 3, 2025 - "What should I do?" is a question we ask from our early years throughout our lives. Typically there's more to it - What should I do for a career? or What should I do for housing? or What should I do with my children? or What should I do when I retire? How do you figure out what you should do? How do your decisions flow out of who you are (and if you follow Jesus, whose you are)?

Questions for God: What if I don't like your answer?
July 27, 2025 - Why? A three-letter word with a question mark that begs for an answer. Why this? Why now? Why this way? Sometimes it's hard to accept an answer, so we keep pressing and ask more questions until we are either exhausted or satisfied. When is it hardest for you to "accept the answer"? When is it hardest for you to accept God's answers, especially the ones he lays out in the Bible?

Questions for God: Are You Kidding Me?
July 20, 2025 - Are you kidding me? That can't be real. That's crazy. That's unthinkable. This isn't exactly a question on most people's "Top Ten Questions I want to ask God" list, but there are times when we do ask God this question. Sometimes it's when God surprises us or when something happens exactly the opposite of what we expected. Tune into this message and join us in exploring some of those "Are you kidding me?" moments.

Questions for God: What is Love?
July 13, 2025 -What is love? Is it a red heart on a Valentine's Day card, or a red rose, or someone who takes time to care? We tend to associate love with feelings. But, love is more than a feeling. It does things. What does love do? Listen and find out.
