A Family within a Community

 

• The house of God is a place of prayer and worship where ALL people are welcome.

• It's also a gathering place. Graced by hospitality you can develop friendships here, a sense of belonging and purpose.

• You'll find people of similar values & interests, age & circumstance.

• Our focus in worship and church life is on the Good News of God's grace in Jesus Christ, news that sets us free to trust God and do good.

• Newcomers feel welcome here and never out-of-place. We're "user-friendly."

• We allow you plenty of "space" without pressure. We'll let you take our invitation step-by-step at your own pace.

• We'd like to send our newsletter, Tabletalk, to keep you informed and invited.

• We offer opportunities for creative Christian service in home, community, the Twin Cities metro area, and, through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America [ELCA], the nation and the world.
