Local Impact

Loving Our
Neighbors

Joy Church is impacting our local community with the love of Jesus Christ through outreach events, our food pantry, and our 24-foot Joy to Go Mobile Kitchen.

It is our honor to serve local neighborhoods, teachers, law enforcement, veterans and active military, first responders, college students, and those in need with free meals along with the good news of Jesus Christ.

Joy Church is also committed to reaching people internationally through our Joy To The World Missions outreach.

This includes regular short term mission trips as well as financial support for missionaries and ministries around the world! Every dollar given to Joy Church helps extend this reach to the nations.

Joy To Go

Joy Church believes in serving our community! Joy To Go is our 24-foot mobile kitchen that we use to bring meals to the local community during regular community events. You can see the Joy To Go truck and mobile kitchen arrive in communities in Mount Juliet, Lebanon, and Hermitage to bring tasty hot meals.

Good food served by really good cooks — and it is all free, as our blessing to the community.

C.O.P.S. Outreach

Caring Outreach for Powerful Servants

Joy Church wants to display the love of God to our local public servants who protect our communities. We have honoured first responder agencies across Nashville and Mount Juliet — hosting First Responder Family Appreciation Days, blessing the Mount Juliet Police Department and the Metro Nashville SWAT team, and recognising National Thank a Police Officer Day with special receptions for officers and their families.

It is our honour to appreciate the men and women of these teams that do so much to serve our communities. We are thankful for those who serve in our law enforcement agencies, and appreciate their continued service!

Around the world

Joy To The World Missions

Pastor Jim and Anne head up “Joy To The World”, a short-term summer missions program in other countries. This ministry emphasises evangelistic and discipleship opportunities for World Changers Bible Institute students as they put classroom concepts into practical application (James 1:25). Countless lives have been affected for eternity via this powerful missions outreach (Matt. 24:14)!

12,000+

first-time decisions for Jesus through Joy To The World mission teams.

Alongside local and international outreach, Joy Church also “tithes the tithe” — contributing 10% to other ministries.
