Who We Are
JOY (Just Older Youth) is a ministry dedicated to the senior saints of our church.
JOY provides opportunities for fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual growth while celebrating the friendships and community that continue to be so important throughout every season of life.
Through gatherings, meals, and special events, JOY offers a place to connect with one another, enjoy time together, and continue growing in the Lord. After all, growing older doesn’t mean you have to stop being young at heart—that’s why we’re Just Older Youth!

What We Do
At JOY, we believe some of the best moments in life are the ones shared together! Throughout the year, we enjoy a variety of activities designed to encourage fellowship, strengthen friendships, and simply have fun together.
From shared meals and outings to special events, activities, and times of encouragement, JOY gives our senior saints opportunities to stay connected and involved. Most importantly, we enjoy doing life together while continuing to encourage one another in our walk with Christ.

Leaders of JOY
We are so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of JOY—Just Older Youth! Our desire is to provide a place where our senior saints can come together, enjoy meaningful fellowship, build lasting friendships, and encourage one another in their walk with the Lord.
We believe that every season of life is a gift from God and an opportunity to continue growing, serving, laughing, and making wonderful memories together. Whether we’re sharing a meal, enjoying an outing, participating in an activity, or simply spending time together, our hope is that JOY will always be a place filled with friendship, encouragement, and plenty of joy!
We look forward to all that God has in store for JOY and hope you’ll join us along the way!
