About this church
Joy Lutheran Church in Eagle River gathers for worship on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. The congregation is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Worship is liturgical, following a pattern of singing and prayer, with a message from Scripture and shared Holy Communion. The communion table is described as open to anyone, whether or not they are members. Services can be joined in person or online, and dress is casual, so visitors can wear whatever is comfortable. Sunday School and Confirmation follow worship at 10:40 a.m.
Children are included in worship through a children's message, activity bags, a children's bulletin, and a kids' area at the back of the sanctuary. Children's ministry serves toddlers through fifth grade, confirmation begins at sixth grade, and a weekly Holy Grounds gathering for high school students meets before school at a local coffee shop. Adults can join Bible study series on Tuesday evenings, the Knits of Joy crochet group, or a Saturday work group that meets on the second Saturday of each month to take care of tasks around the church. Newcomer gatherings after worship introduce visitors to the congregation. Parking is available in a front lot off East Eagle River Loop Drive and a rear lot at First Street and Le Doux Street.
