Cup of Joy ministries was born from a powerful question:
“What might happen if women believed God’s love, grace, forgiveness and purposes for them, right where they are?”
Through many prayers, many tears, and many conversations and dreams, the vision of the ministry has continued to be refined. But the heart behind Cup of Joy Ministries remains constant: we want women to know, love, and follow Jesus. But we want to do more than tell you Jesus loves you; we want to equip you to run your race well, joyfully experiencing the hope of God in Christ in your day to day, whatever may come.
Dot’s own journey through the lies she believed about God and His purpose for her life drove her to start COJ so that other women could walk in the freedom she discovered in God’s heart for her. She desires that COJ can offer hope to women who are tired of carrying the labels they have gained from life experiences, from others, and even from themselves.
We hope that women will authentically and boldly take steps toward the life God offers, the purpose God has created for them, keeping the faith & running the race that He has given them.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…
THE BIBLE
We believe that all scripture is “God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” We believe the Bible to be the inspired, timeless and living Word of God.
GOD
We believe that there is one true God - Sovereign and Creator of all things in heaven and earth. God exists in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - the Trinity. God is all-powerful, all-knowing and present in all things - full of mercy and love. The Father imparted Himself to us in the Person of Jesus Christ.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin and made man, who dwelt among us. He lived a sinless life, suffered, died on the cross and rose again in victory. His death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice for the sin of mankind.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit was given to mankind to be the Helper and Comforter. The Holy Spirit occurs at the moment of salvation and provides guidance and truth. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit occurs at the moment of salvation and provides direction as we strive to live a Godly life.
MAN
We believe “the chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.”
THE CHURCH
We believe God’s purpose in bringing the church into existence was that He might manifest through the church the manifold wisdom and grace and power of God; that believers - followers of Jesus - should be instruments to bring praise and honor and glory to Him.
