Who We Are

Community of Joy is a Christian congregation in Eagan, MN,  whose mission it is  to influence many to believe in Jesus Christ and live for Him.  Our name reflects our identity as a community of Christians among whom the joy of the Lord is evident as we worship Him together, build the lives of those with whom we connect in ministry, and impact our neighborhood and beyond through service and outreach.  As we celebrate our freedom in the gospel of Jesus Christ, grow  together in God’s grace, and discover ways to share the love of Christ with others, we are finding that the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Our Core Values

• We value the Bible as God’s Word, the final authority for all that we believe and do.
• We value personal faith in Jesus Christ expressed in lives of devoted discipleship.
• We value authentic worship, engaging both heart and mind in exalting the Triune God.
• We value Christian witness and service, sharing with the world the love of God in Christ.

• We value prayer and the study of God’s Word as vital to knowing and loving God and understanding His purpose for our lives.
• We value the teaching framework of our Lutheran heritage with its emphasis on law and gospel, salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and the priesthood of all believers.
