About My Church Plant
Joy Church is a church replant on Long Island that exists to forge disciples of Jesus Christ by renewing relationships, mending lives and living for Jesus. We envision a vibrant, faith-infused community who actively redeems culture and makes a tangible impact on Long Island. Our vision, therefore, is to see disciples become catalysts for cultural renewal, using their God-given gifts, talents and skills to glorify Jesus.
We believe God’s call for us is not only to grow personally in our faith but to let that faith seep into and transform every corner of society. This drives us to be an invested congregation to empower, equip and enact real change on Long Island for the glory of Jesus. As we live out this vision, we believe our church will reflect the glory of God and spark joy in every corner of our beloved Long Island.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
