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 catching up on episodes of Blue Bloods, 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.

The Heart of the Kingdom: True Leadership
October 20, 2024 - What makes a good leader? While there are many opinions and perspectives on this question, there is substantial agreement that we need good leaders today. God has worked through many different leaders throughout the centuries. Two of Jesus' disciples/apprentices come to him to ask about becoming his right-hand and left-hand men. Jesus talks about the toxic leadership he sees and boils leadership down to one characteristic.

The Heart of the Kingdom: Eternal Investments
August 13, 2024 - How is your relationship with God? How do you experience the heart of God's Kingdom? We often look to what we can see and experience here and now.

The Heart of the Kingdom: Happy Together
October 6, 2024 - Wouldn't it be great to be Happy Together? It would be great in our friendship groups, families, marriages, churches, etc. As great as it is, it is also hard. We don't always value people the way God values them. Other people don't always value us the way God values us. Thankfully, we have God's gift of forgiveness to experience and share with others.

September 8, 2024 - Favoritism can be really annoying unless we're the one getting favored treatment. What does God have to say about favoritism? Does God play favorites?
