Hello my name is Earl Beal.  I am the Pastor at Joy Baptist Church. 

Thank you for clicking on our church site. Joy Baptist Church is a miracle church. God gave birth to this church July 1st of 1994, and was started in our home at 1708 Ave. D, Ft. Madison, IA. God called me my wife Kathy , and two girls Mindy and Bridget, to start a work here in this river town. We came by faith, and God has honored and blessed that little seed. In the past 11 yrs. we have come to appreciate even more than ever, the power of the resurrected life that comes through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. God has given us a great harvest of souls, and warm committed lives in this sweet fellowship. If you ever have the opportunity to stop by, we would love to have you. I pray that your time here on our site might be an encouragement to you. God bless and I trust our paths will cross here on the earth, but if not we hope to see you in the air!! 

Listening for the Trump!!
