Our services are typically filled with a rich depth of unconditional love, fellowship, biblical learning, discipleship challenges and a whole lot of fun & laughter based upon the relationship we have with The Lord and continue to develop with one another. We believe in worshipful songs, creative arts, biblical teaching with a conversational tone, stewardship, prayer, praise, dance, skits and using every gift & talent The Lord gives us to help us draw closer to him.
What do I wear?
Our dress code is pretty simple at JHOW. We're casual - business casual on most occasions. We believe you should be comfortable and the focus should be on The Lord not on what we're wearing.
What type of church?
JHOW is a Baptist church which does not put much emphasis on the types of things that might separate believers. Our emphasis is continually on those things that edify & unify fellow believers and most importantly, glorify God. At JHOW we like to keep the MAIN thing the MAIN thing.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
Your kids will have a blast as part or our JOSHUA GENERATION! From our online learning to field trips & youth camp, its all about helping them to discover who they are called to be in God and to build the rest of their lives on that solid foundation while having a whole lot of fun in the process! Every 2nd & 4th Sunday we have a special & separate service designed for our youth onsite at our fellowship hall. Our youth will join us in the main sanctuary on all other Sundays.
WHO WE ARE
Our Mission
Together we are a community of likeminded but diverse believers. What does that mean, the word community? In community we grow closer to God and one another through a sacred, God honoring fellowship.

WE LOVE JHOW
"My daughter and I started coming to this church at the beginning of this year, and I must say that it has been a tremendous blessing in my life! God has opened so many doors to great relationships to form, and I have grown so much in my relationship with Him. The teaching and discipleship here is unlike anything that I have ever had, and I try to tell everyone I can that this is the place to be! I only wish that I had found this church earlier. Bless you!"
