Welcome to Gospel Joy!
We are an evangelistic ministry from Poland.
We serve God and people by using gospel music as a tool to reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission field is focused on Gospel Joy choir (a professional choir with tradition and achievements), gospel workshops (with non-professionals) and planting new Bible study fellowships.

At the end of the weekend there is a grand finale concert when all the participants perform on stage and the audience is their friends and family. On average there’s 80 – 300 participants at each weekend.
During workshops people learn about God and how they can get involved in local Bible Study.

HOME GROUPS

We follow our call to start and develop Polish Bible Study home fellowships. We believe and see that God’s Word and influence of other Christians can really have a deep impact on people’s lifes.
Because of that we work hard to establish places where people – mostly after the Workshops – can come and be part of such transformational communities in their local cities.
