- 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.

Lost & Found
April 6, 2025 - Most of us have lost, or at least misplaced, something at one time or another. Sometimes this causes us to panic, or feel sad, or frustrated depending on what it is. When we find something we've lost we can feel a sigh of relief or a little burst of joy. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories about people losing and finding things. Each time the person found what they lost they threw a party! It seems a bit strange, yet it does reveal the value of what was lost.

Discipling According to Jesus: What Does a Disciple Do?
February 16, 2025 - If a disciple is someone who is claimed and trained by Jesus to follow Jesus as a daily lifestyle and teach others to do the same, what does that look like? A disciple is someone who is an apprentice or intern, someone who is being intentionally mentored. When we are mentored by someone we know, like, and trust, we want to be just like that person. Who has God brought into your life who has been a mentor in the Christian faith? Who has God brought into your life for YOU to mentor in the Christian faith? Hebrews 13:7 reminds us, "Remember your leaders who spoke God’s word to you. Imitate their faith as you consider the way their lives turned out."
