Providing The Support That Fuels Ministry

CityJoy is a family of urban ministries serving across the Twin Cities. We provide the administrative and operational support that enables these ministries to focus on what matters most: meeting physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while sharing the hope of Jesus.

Like pieces of a mosaic, each ministry is unique, bringing the gospel to the city through specialized work. Some ministries provide compassionate crisis care and food assistance, while others offer mentoring, cross-cultural engagement, and more.

But urban ministry is hard and complex. Without support, ministers are weighed down by administrative demands, slowing gospel impact and leaving urgent needs unmet.

Your generosity changes that. When you give to CityJoy, you free ministers to reach more people, serve with renewed passion, and share gospel hope throughout the city.

  • “The CityJoy team is amazing. I appreciate their eagerness to help whenever I need support. When you first launch a full-time ministry, you don’t realize how much behind-the-scenes work is required. CityJoy does an amazing job providing high-quality operational and administrative support. Their work is crucial and done with excellence. CityJoy allows me to stay focused on the mission without getting weighed down by the logistics of running an organization – all necessary but not where my passion lies.”
