About Joy Church
Welcome to Joy Church
Joy Church is a community of people discovering the life-changing joy of knowing Jesus and doing life together.
Our heart is simple: to connect everyone in our community to a joy-filled, life-giving relationship with Jesus and His family.
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years, are just beginning to explore faith, or simply looking for a church to call home, there’s a place for you here. We want Joy Church to be a place where you can know God, find freedom, discover your purpose, and make a difference.
We believe church should feel like family, a place where people are known, encouraged, challenged, and equipped to become everything God has called them to be.
At Joy Church, we are passionate about seeing lost people saved, saved people pastored, pastored people trained, and trained people mobilized to make a difference in their families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and world.
And through everything we do, we want to be people who love God, love others, pursue excellence, and choose joy.
We’d love for you to come experience Joy Church for yourself. There’s a place for you here.

Our Story
In 1989, Pastor Dave and Kimi Miller, along with three other families, moved from Springfield, Oregon to Bend to start Joy Church (formerly known as Bend Christian Fellowship).
What began as a small meeting in their own home has now grown and flourished into a thriving church family, privileged to have a beautiful church property on over 10 acres of land that we get to call home. In June of 2017 Pastor Dave transitioned the church to his son, Ben & Rachel Miller.
