J.U.S.T. Pals of Christ
(Jesus Uses Simple Teachings)

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

What we all need is love and humor and a Christian clown is able to dispense both love and laughter with a message of truth. We have non denominational programs that we perform for any church activity. They are based on Bible truths and stories.

We would like to see a place where all Christian & Caring Clowns can come together to meet and to share their talents and time with each other and with the community at large. A place where we can learn from each other and grow together.
