The Junior Orthodox Youth (JOY) is a ministry to Kindergarten through 6th grade children of the St. Demetrios Rocky River Greek Orthodox Church.
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.
JOY takes part in many fun events like Fall Fun Night, Gingerbread House Making,
Vacation Bible School, and more! By laying a 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.
