Spirit of Joy was a mission start congregation that began in 2000, led by Pastor Josh Nelson.  In 2003, we were incorporated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Worship was held in the PAC at Buffalo High School.  By 2007, a core group of believers empowered by the Holy Spirit purchased 20 acres of land a mile north of Highway 55. We broke ground in 2009 and our new building was completed within the year.
