If you desire to grow in the word, check them out. They're international, it's Meat. Back to Urban: The ministry has transitioned from Evergreen churches and also the leadership has changed significantly. When I attended there were three pastors 2 white and one Black man. I loved the shared leadership. The previous and current leadership consistently preached the word while addressing current events, social/ civil unrest and political divisions. It's refreshing to see that the gospel was the focal point while not ignoring the signs of the time. Urban has been instrumental in providing pastoral counseling to myself and other members, diverse worship styles, movie and discussion in the Harmony group along with service opportunities, breaking bread alongside one another and mission opportunities. Sankofa trips and beyond. Urban Refuge is a beacon of Christ centered multiethnic gospel centered church. They have service on Sundays at 10am they have a great youth Pastor as well Jonathan's amazing!

This is a lovely congregation in South Minneapolis. They are friendly and committed to social…read morejustice issues. They have an active and lively education program for children age 3 - senior high and also for adults (Sunday morning forum and other various Bible studies). Several years ago, they completed the process for becoming a Reconciling in Christ congregation which means that they have an intentional statement of welcome for LGBT people and their families. The pastor is a smart and funny woman named Pastor Susan. Her sermons are always thought provoking and intelligent, but they aren't so esoteric that you have to be a theology major to understand the message. Baptisms are really cool, here. The children of the congregation are invited to come forward and stand near the font so that they are up close to what is happening and can feel the splash of water on themselves, reminding them of their own baptism. Once a month they collect "Change to Change the World" and some visiting kids have called them the "Change Church" --- the little stray coins in the bottom of pockets and purses multiply to do good works in the neighborhood and the world. The children of the congregation go up and down the aisles during the offering with brightly colored cans, and the clinking of the coins is loud and joyous. The sanctuary is a beautiful, traditional "tiny gothic cathedral" style. Most of the music is traditional, too. The order of worship is printed on bulletins (rather than projected in a PowerPoint). The organist and the musicians are first rate, and the congregational singing is awesome, too. There are two worship services during the school year: 8:30 and 10:30 AM on Sundays, with the education hour (for kids and adults) at 9:15. Coffee and treats and a time for gathering and fellowship is offered after worship, which is really nice if you want to catch up with a friend. I highly recommend visiting this congregation --- you will be welcomed! Check out their website for current programming, and don't miss their amazing church cookbook which is available ONLINE! www.nokomisheights.org

I have never received a hug like that because I am the person that gives those hugs. I felt welcomed. I felt so welcomed and she was the primary reason I proceeded to the sanctuary. I wanted to attend a church that had the Old School Southern feel to it. Originality. Love and Holy Spirit presence. I wanted to feel " HOME " my Southern Roots. Long story short, I have a strained relationship with church and within 6 months of just sitting in the pews, I joined. This alone should speak volumes but I will continue. Now there is always room for growth. We are people meant to take and give constructive criticism. If it said that new members should be embraced in a specific manner then follow thru. I did my part in communication. I wrote an email that I was not obligated to write to inform the church of my abrupt disappearance and I had no follow up. It almost discouraged me because it took so long for me to return to church, then I joined the church and did not hear word back regarding my email. I was asking about how I could still be a participant from another state. I did not want to be just a virtual viewer and attendee. I wanted to pour back into what was pouring into me, even if I was in another state. That was frustrating but that is people within the church and NOT God. Emails from specific people within the church is phenomenal though so I will NEVER take away from that. The experience mentioned about the failure to respond to an email has been the epitome of growth however. I have grown closer to God because of all that was experienced at this church. There are some amazing people who pour into you. There are some people that do not pour into you the way that is expected. The music! I cannot stop talking about the music, the guest, the creativity, the praise dancer, the meat. The meat-the word! The word! I have been exposed to so many people in the Bible and their stories that I never knew existed. I NEVER heard a Pastor preach about sexual abuse until I attended here. I have never been interested in the semantics of politics until I attended here. Overall between Bible Study, Sunday School, and the beautiful community events. This church is so beautiful and expansion is in their future.

I might have found my place at Christ Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill. I enjoy the combination of stained glass and graffiti that greets visitors -- along with a seemingly endless line of friendly church members. Christ Lutheran offers a hymn-filled traditional service that takes full advantage of the pipe organ featured in the Church's balcony. Contemporary elements added to the service include Gospel readings in Khmer, Tigrinia and English -- and a Cambodian Melody arrangement of the Lord's Prayer. The Hymns incorporated also tend to be newer, familiar ones -- such as 'Gather Us In' and 'We are Marching in the Light.' Everyone is invited to participate in communion, which featured ethnic, homemade bread during my visit. Christ Lutheran has on-site parking. It's also on the Green Line, making it easy to get to by train.The Chapel is large and filled with friendly people of all ages and cultures. If you're new to Lutheran Churches, be prepared for 'Passing of the Peace' where you have an opportunity to greet and shake hands with other members. This portion of the service feels like what you'd experience at a small church -- individuals walk throughout the church to greet others and hug friends. Even as a new visitor, I wasn't excluded from a tidal wave of handshakes and greetings. I'll likely make CLC on Capitol Hill my home congregation and explore other churches in the Twin Cities for occassional, contemporary offerings.
