Who We Are
Community of Joy is a Christian congregation in Eagan, MN, that is discovering in new and fresh ways that “the joy of the Lord is our strength.” The joy of the Lord is evident as we worship and praise Him together, build the lives of those who participate in our various fellowship and educational opportunities, and impact our neighborhood and beyond through service and outreach. As we grow together in God’s grace, caring for each other as a family of faith, we are strengthened and encouraged to become all we can be in Christ.
