- 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.

1st Century Faith in a 21st Century World: Faith that Transforms
January 25, 2026 - Can people really change? In this message, we explore the conversion of St. Paul and the kind of faith that doesn’t rely on trying harder, behaving better, or earning God’s approval. Instead, we discover a grace that meets us where we are, transforms us from the inside out, and works through us to share God’s love with others. If grace could change Saul, it can change anyone.

1st Century Faith in a 21st Century World: Marked by Grace
January 11, 2026 - TIn this message for the Baptism of Our Lord, we explore how Jesus steps into the Jordan not to prove Himself—but to identify with us. In a performance-driven world, baptism reminds us that our identity is not earned but given. Through water and God’s Word, we are claimed, named, and marked forever as beloved children of God. Faith begins not with a resume—but with grace.

December 21, 2025 - On the Fourth Sunday of Advent, we listen for The Sound of Salvation in Zechariah’s song from Luke 1. In a world filled with fear and noise, God’s promise breaks through with mercy, forgiveness, and peace. This message invites us to trust in God’s faithfulness, hear salvation anew, and follow Jesus on the path of peace.

Sounds of the Season: The Sound of Joy
December 14, 2025 - What does joy sound like? In this Advent message, we listen to Mary’s song—the Magnificat—and discover a joy rooted not in comfort or ease, but in God’s faithfulness. Mary rejoices because God has seen her, acted for her, and kept promises made long before her time.
This message explores joy as a response to who God is and what God has done: lifting up the lowly, filling the hungry, humbling the proud, and bringing salvation into the world through Jesus. As people of the promise, we are invited to remember God’s work in our own lives, recognize His blessings, and join Mary in glorifying the God who brings true and lasting joy.
