They exist to help people connect with Christ (The Vine) and find redemption, restoration and renewal in Him through evangelism, Biblical teaching, discipleship, community, giving and serving. They believe individuals and communities can be transformed through Christ and experience physical, emotional and spiritual restoration and refreshing renewal. They also believe in supporting our community by purchasing supplies at locally owned, independent stores and by partnering with existing churches, schools or social and neighborhood organizations when possible. It's a great place to be. The worship is excellent, the messages real and almost conversational and the people - amazing. It's like being part of a family/real community. I love the atmosphere of serving they all genuinely put out.

The location can be a little tricky to get to with the round a bouts but following their signs helps. The church is very modern and clean and there is plenty of room in the sanctuary with stadium seating in the back if you'd prefer that. They have many locations and the service is steamed from their Apple Valley location to the other locations.

I used to visit this church as a child with my Mother in the 90's, so it was a little nostalgic to wonder around the church and recognizing places I visited decades ago. The conference was three days and I attended 2 of 3. Friday night was praise and worship and the word that was brought forth by Pastor Tims. The praise and worship team were in sync and they definitely brought the praise with the worship; I had agreat time! They had the words of the song listed on the walls, so that I can sing along, if I wasn't familiar. I met very friendly people, a lot were very personable. The church had a wonderful lighting and display. The brunch on Saturday was amazing! Well served, good food and the message on both days was delicious to my spirit. Surprisingly, the brunch and entire event was FREE! Kudos to the Pastor, who was present for both days. I will visit more conferences.

As someone…read morethat wandered away from organized religion after high school (for the same reasons, many people reject faith entirely), I found myself longing for an authentic church community. I've met a great group of people not only studying and questioning religious doctrine through today's lens but also living their beliefs in earnest, as imperfect humans striving towards peace, justice, compassion, and understanding, and although on the fringe, still worthy of God's grace. Pastor Holly is very cool. She begins each service with a centering poem and stresses that "all means all" not only in word but in practice. There are now five different bands, so each week is a different experience with many types of music for you to enjoy from rock to folk and more, including one group that has a clogger! There are local coffee and snacks as well as an art table, and participation is optional depending on one's personal comfort level. Although the format is similar to regular church service, it takes place at the Hook and Ladder Theatre, is stripped down, casual, and "church" just really doesn't cut it. I've also enjoyed events outside of a typical church format, from sharing a meal or taking part in several book discussions. We've read about other religions, dissected "scary church words," even reading secular works that also have significance and talk about how our personal experiences shape our viewpoint. Coming up, we are reading "Red State Christians" by a local author, and I can't wait to continue on this journey with new friends.

I was visiting MN to officiate a wedding and being away from my own congregation I always try to visit somewhere else. Remember that this was one person's - a pastor no less - perspective and if you are looking for a church, you must give it more than one or two visits. Spirit Garage was a good overall experience and if i were looking for a community it would warrant a return trip or two. The things I enjoyed - The band was solid. Most bands do not pull off doing secular songs very well, but they were solid; - Leadership was diverse in terms of male/female; - Pastor was talking to this community; - Casual feel - Multigenerational - Easy parking - Theologically grounded Stuff that didn't jive with me - Where are all the brown people? I understand this is MN and might be why I would not move here, but there were only three non-White folks in the space of 70-80 people. - Hard to create talk back in a theater style setting. Everyone is facing forward so are not looking at each other. Again, one visit so check it out for yourself.

The church has traditional architecture and is very beautiful. The mass was well attended. The priest seemed sincere and the sermon was relatable. The mass was in English and the priest faced the congregation. There were lots of altar boys in the service (around 8) but no alter girls. There were no girls in the service at all. There was not a strong smell of incense. Multiple people have told us that this is a more traditional church and that aligns with our experience.
