New Church Building Program
Spirit of Joy is in the process of building a new church on the northeast corner of Highway 67 and Highland Valley Road. For many years our wooden cross near the north edge of the property has marked the spot.
After several years of intensive planning, environmental studies, and architectural reviews we have recently finished revising our plans and made our second complete submittal to the San Diego County Department of Planning and Land Use.
The permanent building will have three separate facilities:
- The sanctuary/worship center has seating for over 300. The Bell Tower is part of the worship center and provides more gathering space.
- The fellowship center includes a full kitchen and will have room for over 300 people to gather.
- The administrative/education center will house staff offices and have five classrooms, two restrooms, nursery area, and a bridal room.
Outside areas will include gardens, courtyard, meditation garden, orchards, general landscaping, and parking for over 150 vehicles. There will be a large fenced playground to accommodate the growing number of young families.
We are excited about the opportunity to build a beautiful house of worship at the gateway to Ramona, and pray that God will bless our efforts.

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.””
—John 10:28-30
