Antonette Imburgia This is an amazing church. Love the people there. They are so amazingly giving type of people and so friendly. They make you feel accepted into their church with their open arms and heart.

charmaine reyes Love the praise and worship team. The care they take when praying for you. Wonderful family orientated church. New to the church, but this is a place I get excited about to hear the word of God every week.

Katina Wilson Church of Joy is the real thing!! I joined 18 years ago and I am still encouraged to grow in my relationship with the Father, while at the same time caring about the needs of people. COJ is an irresistible church that ministers to the whole family. God is on the throne of our hearts and we love Him!" Im so grateful He planted me at Church of Joy. Our pastor, Luis Reyes is a true shepherd who teaches and stands for truth, loves his congregation, and hears from the Lord. Ive grown as a Christian and my heart has been softened more and more. I love the fact that I get to be with my church family every week and enjoy the presence of God. We are touching the lives of people through the love of Christ. Thank you Lord for planting Church of Joy in Waukegan for such a time as this!

Neil President I love this church! I happen to be one of the worship leaders but I can remember my first time walking into Vertical Encounter church! There was so much joy and sincerity from the moment I entered the parking lot until the moment that I left. It feels warm and inviting. Like family!! I’d recommend this church for anyone looking to grow in their faith! Come through! ☺️

cindy ocampo Parish office hours in the afternoon are from 230-5. Arrived at 230, office was still closed. Front desk lady didn’t arrive until 250.

Lawrence Minelli No I went there too. Theyre all locked up. Its not worth going to a church after 4 or 5 oclock at night. If you want to pray, it aint the same anymore

Janet Sanborn We love the long time pastor and his family that have served our community for many years. We recently had a Celebration of Life for our mother that previously attended this church and we could not have been happier with the beautiful memorial service that they helped us create. We enjoyed planning with such a wonderful pastor and his family. They really went above and beyond to make this difficult time extra special. Thank you so much to Pastor George & his wonderful family. God Bless you all!

JEANETTE GONZALEZ Love it a lot

Ed ENGLISH: This church is not catholic or christian they act like something else. Not a very kind father either something shady is going on here. I dont feel the love here. SPANISH: The father of that church is very abrupt. They have Catholic images but they say they are Christians. I dont understand. The English womans stepfather is not a good person when he speaks. There is no love here.
