Junior Orthodox Youth of America (JOY)
Junior Orthodox Youth, or JOY, is the ministry to 3rd through 6th grade children of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of Stamford.
The mission and goal of the JOY ministry is to lead our young people into experiencing the Holy Orthodox Faith. By developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and becoming active sacramental members of the living church, our young people will be equipped with tools necessary to assist them in their journey toward salvation. By building on the foundation of faith at this age, the young people will have something that will guide and strengthen them as they progress into junior high and high school.
