Overview

Mission

Worship events

What it reported doing in 2025

Happy the dog's activities focus primarily on leading worship services and experiences, primarily for youth events. We strive to offer a spiritually rounded more cohesive worship service by combining musical and rhetorical gifts that challenge youth and adults, encouraging them in their spiritual development. The ministry strives to provide these services to areas and organizations that often do not have the budgetary means to bring in outside worship leaders or events. We believe that these people have as much need for opportunities to worship and grow, and our ministry intends to help fill that need.
