I was going to FGU for about 10 years, before we moved to another state. I have grown so much in my…read morefaith and in Bible knowledge while I was there. FGU has grown, expanded and opened churches in so many other locations, even overseas during these years, even during Covid. That means God's hand is on this church! FGU Bible College, Kids' Ministry, Prayer group and Pine Lake Camp are all awesome! May God bless all of the people who work and serve there!

I was attracted by the lights of this church. I got close and it was Saint Michaels church. So I…read moredrove around took your pictures. There was a drive through confession. It was late in the evening. I did not want to confess. But the area is really nice the parking lot is wide. I would have to come back and check it out on the inside. I couldn't but just walk around drive around and see how pretty this church is. I hope the parishioners of this church as well as the priest are as beautiful as the building itself. I'm coming back when pandemic is over.

So gorgeous and peaceful the church is a must go!!! There is an organ and the priest there is…read moreamazing

A suggestion: put together a web site so potential visitors can see what you believe, what…read moreministries you have, who your pastors and leaders are, etc. Why is the one review by Kelly not recommended? Why are there not more reviews? Quite honestly this leaves me thinking you're hiding something. I'll be visiting but probably after i've exhausted all the other possibilities. Not trying to be unkind but why are you hiding your light?

Our first visit to Crossing Church was for our teens who wouldn't go to regular church. Just…read morewalking in the door we knew it's a place where people are real and excited about their faith. Other points-- The talks are relevant and life-changing. Pastors don't talk theory--you will learn what you need to thrive in the ups and downs of real life. Come a little early for coffee and to check in your kids to the kids' program. Music is excellent and loud enough that no one cares if you don't know the words. People are excited about faith so they don't sit passively. A basket is passed for an offering for those who choose to make the church their own. Most people wear jeans and t-shirts, including pastors.

Wonderful campus. Good people. Beautiful church. Highly recommend touring if interested.read more

There's plenty to enjoy about St. John's, but also a few things to be cognizant of…read more St. John's University is a major player in the liturgical, spiritual, and community life of Central Minnesota through the Benedictine Abbey/Monastery, the university and theological school, the prep school, Liturgical Press, the Abbey Church, liturgical reform, the Monastic Library, sports teams, St. John's Bible, and more. Johnnies, which its graduates are fond of calling themselves, are filled with pride for their school. I do not know of another campus that has quite the setting that St. John's has, with so many beautiful wooded acres, lakes, walking trails, an arboretum, and more. The football field has to be one of the most pleasant, situated as it is, in a valley surrounded by trees. It's truly a stunning place physically. The old architecture (red brick, historical buildings, The Great Hall) is pleasing to the eye; the new architecture (concrete) less so. There's much to attract students, visitors, and others to this place. Of course, nothing is as pristine as it seems. Unfortunately, the monastery has been marred by the large number of monks/priests who have sexually abused children. They continue to live and work on campus. The university says that they are under a kind of "house arrest" and that their activities are monitored, but I have seen accused monks/priests in St. Cloud shopping with young adult men. It continues to be a concern of many in the area.

What an amazing welcoming community. There are so many ways to participate at Bethlehem! Worship,…read morePray, Learn, Give, Serve! And don't forget to check out the Preschool and Early Childhood Center!
