WHO WE ARE


OUR STORY


Joy Church Eugene was born on March 13th, 2016 in Pastor Jake and Bethany's living room. Twenty-nine adventurous souls sought God's heart for a new church in the city of Eugene on that first night. Since then, Joy Church has welcomed hundreds of new friends to the party as we set our hearts to love God, love people, and make disciples! We've met in a living room, a community center, a movie theater, and now our new building! Joy isn't just our name--it's who we are. And there's always room for one more!

OUR PASTORS


Jacob and Bethany love Jesus, love each other, love their kids, and love their friends. They're excited to lead a wonderful church in fulfilling God's plan for the city of Eugene!

OUR TEAM


We call it The Dream Team, and it really is! The Dream Team is our team of incredible volunteers who make Joy Church happen week in and out. Here at Joy Church, we believe God has given each person unique gifts in order to serve the body of Christ, and to show his love to the world. We believe this so much that we designed Next Track: a program made specifically to help you find your gifts and discover how you can use them at Joy Church and in the world!
