CHILDREN MINISTRY
  Children’s Ministry is to assist parents as they raise their children in the Christian faith. From the first time a child is brought to church, it is our desire to build God’s principles in each young life. It is our prayer that God will enable parents to provide a loving Christian home for their children and that He will give us wisdom and guidance to complement their efforts with the best children’s program any church could possibly offer.

MARRIED ADULT MINISTRY
  One of the objectives of the Adult Ministry at Palace of joy church is to build strong marriages and families centered in Christ. In so doing, we see couples of all ages and stages of life get connected through social interaction and spiritual development in the study and application of God’s word in their lives.     
Another great and important feature of our Married Adult Ministry is the personal care and ministry you will receive from our members. Whatever your need or prayer request, there are prayer and ministry teams ready to reach out, care, and minister.

(These items are donated by church members). During the holiday seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas, food baskets are prepared, upon request, and delivered to families in need of assistance.
