JOY Ministry
Celebrating our uniqueness and differences.
The JOY Ministry is being developed to assist in the building of an inclusive culture at FBC. Our desire is to assure the equal participation of all members regardless of disability or other needs (1 Cor. 12:12-26). Our ultimate goal is to help our church culture be one that includes and accepts all members, and treats each other with the respect and love that Jesus expects of us ( John 13:34-35; Gal. 5:13-14).

Serving and Volunteering:
We desire to recruit people who desire to serve and minister to those in our congregation that may be in need of assistance and/or accommodations. Training and resources are often available via current Joy Ministry volunteers in order to equip those desiring to serve in many areas within the disability community attending our church.
Our goal is to recruit sufficient Joy Ministry members so that serving for one or two hours or Sundays per month is achieved; and consequently, allowing those members to be able to worship and attend learning center during other Sundays.
