We're Moving!

We're only one week away from moving to our new location! Everyone at JLM is excited about the direction we're headed and it's awesome to see that we're all on the same page as we move forward with God's vision and purpose for us.
The new location on West Main Street has so much potential and offers us some great opportunities to expand our impact in the community. We've seen good, steady growth and progress over the last year in our current location and it's time to move to the next stage of God's plan. It's always nice to outgrow where you are when you know that God has something bigger and better in store!
We're planning some great events to celebrate the new location and the surge of God's Spirit that we are experiencing together. We'll keep everyone informed and hope to see you there!

There is a Tide - JLM Flood Update


Just wanted to put my thoughts down in writing before life speeds forward and covers the moment and the memory in its dust.
I am so thankful for the great people who are coming together at Joyful Life Ministries. Last night was a perfect and inspiring example! There was such a sense of unity that I felt like we could take on the whole world. And we can! Even the crazy Lego Sculpture Event allowed us to grow together and get a vision of what lies ahead for us :)
I shared my favorite Shakespeare quote with everyone last night: "There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries."
We're experiencing that tide and flood right now at JLM. I'm so glad to see each person sharing in the same vision and moving forward to catch the wave of opportunity and promise that's building for us. The people and events God is putting in the same place at this moment are a great indicator of things to come. I look forward to seeing the spiritual fortune that God has in store.
