Joy Lutheran "Sanctuary"
John Groberg (Christopher Gorham) is a student at Brigham Young University in 1953 when he is called to mission service in Tonga, a South Sea island. This Idaho farm boy, who plays the trumpet, knows that before leaving he must make clear his love for Jean Sabin (Anne Hathaway). In a very romantic courtship, he asks her to wait for him to return and notes that they will always be together under the same moon in the sky.
"Spread your love everywhere you go," Mother Teresa said. "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier." John Groberg leaves Idaho as an idealistic youth and returns home a seasoned young man eager to serve others. The Other Side of Heaven lifts up and celebrates the spiritual practice of enthusiasm as an energizing and radiant way of life.
Pastor Art Wuertz - Pastor
I am a true Florida Cracker, born in Dunedin in the Tampa Bay area (hooray, Bucs!)
After serving 20 years in the Navy as a trombonist in several fleet bands, I attended Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, SC, graduating with a Master of Divinity degree in 2006. I served as Pastor at Faith Ev. Lutheran Church in DeLand, FL for ten years. How thrilling to serve the Lord in my home state! I accepted the call here to Joy, and began my ministry here on January 1st, 2017.
I have been married to my wife Debbie for 36 years and we have a daughter Amy, 32.
