Joy Class
The Joy Class is a special ministry of Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church, designed to serve our special-needs adults and give them a place to learn and grow in the love and knowledge of God.
They are bused to and from church every Sunday morning. They attend the 9:30 Contemporary Worship service and then have class time with dedicated teachers who lead them in activities and spiritual growth. They truly are full of joy and bless our people as we worship alongside them.
