New Joy is a casual church with a friendly atmosphere. Come early to grab a cup of coffee in our foyer and get to know people. Our service begins at 1:00 pm, but you’ll see a lot of people hanging out in the foyer from about 12:30pm.

Our worship is exuberant and joyful! We believe that when we praise God together with our voices, it’s the only time we get to offer a sacrifice up to Him; so we want to give Him our best – with shouts and hearty singing. We want the Holy Spirit to feel welcome to do what He wants to do and we try to show Him that we’re open to His presence.

Our Prayer Ministry Team members wear nametags to let you know that they are under the accountability and authority of New Joy leaders. They have been trained to wait on God and to speak words of life and encouragement that come from His heart to His people. Their hearts are to speak accurately the words they feel God is speaking and to minister His love to whoever they’re praying for. They have also been trained to pray for healing using the Five-Step Healing Model as taught by Global Awakening to pray for physical healing. The mission of our team is always to show God’s love to you whatever the situation. Even if you have no specific need, it’s a good time to just receive prayer.

We love children and believe that they can also meet God when they come to church. We worship all together as a big family, and then the nursery children are excused after about 10 minutes to go into the nursery. The older children are excused at the start of the announcements.

As we press in for revival in Vancouver, we want everyone to experience a love encounter with God in all the different ways possible. One way is to be touched by a HEALING miracle! New Joy’s new Healing Evangelism Ministry (HEM) has opened a Healing Room. It is open every Sunday at 12:00pm in room 102 on the main floor of our church building. Please bring anyone that you know that needs healing, because no matter what, as Randy Clark says, they will be loved!
