Meet the Pastors

Senior Pastors Dave and Joyce Thilges started Joy Fellowship Church in June 2013, and they truly pastor this church as a team.  Originally envisioned and incorporated as the worship and prayer arm of Joy Faith Ministries International, Joy Fellowship has taken on a life of its own, growing through the blessings of God.

Pastor Dave is an Ordained Minister through Joan Hunter Ministries and a member of 4 Corners Alliance.  He brings a well-rounded background of spiritual, educational and administrative experience.  He has also received extensive training in the areas of healing and deliverance through Joan Hunter Ministries/Hunter Ministries, Stand Firm World Ministries, Don Dickerman Ministries and prior home churches, and now he is dedicated to equipping others to fulfill the purpose that God has placed on their lives.
