Holy Joes's is a church which meets on Tuesday nights in a pub in Clapham, south London. It is pastored by Dave Tomlinson and those who attend are united in the fact that they regard themselves as post-evangelicals.

The name Holy Joes is meant to be tongue-in-cheek - a statement not merely about the group itself, but about the general perception of Christians and church. The provocative nature of the name in many ways epitomises the pro-vocative nature of what Dave Tomlinson (and those for whom he speaks) want to say.
