Groups exist because we are

BETTER TOGETHER

Groups by Title

A message from the Pastor:

Everyone is used to rows―we line up in rows: dismiss by rows, drive our cars to church and park in rows, we enter the building and sit in rows to hear the message. 

Circles provide something different. A circle turns us towards each other in a way that rows can’t. Pastor Andy Stanley said, “There are things that can happen face-to-face that will never happen shoulder-to-shoulder.”

It’s wonderful to come together as the family of God on a Sunday, but we need more than one-way communication. 

I believe that when it comes to church we need both rows and circles. 

In reality the strength of Joy isn’t our rows, it’s our circles.

The Christian life and Joy Christian Center is best experienced together not alone. There will be times in your life that you need the power of love and support that is best experienced in circles. At Joy you will find that in Groups and finding your place on the Dream Team are the circles where iron sharpens iron.
