We have become a little irritated with 2 pastors and their liberal ideals. Although they can't promote politics, it is blatantly clear who they support. 2 sermons were about the upcoming election.

Speaking from experience I have volunteered for almost an entire year and I found that they have the desired individuals and it was clear that my son is not welcomed but just there as a body throughout his middle and partial high school year, he was never further away from god and people until he found safety comfort and LOVE at a real church, not one that only cares about numbers, money and their own insecure and deeply flawed views of a child or god. Zero Stars... love is love thank you very much ;)

We were able to borrow a vehicle and tonight happened to be Baptism night. The new campus Pastor for Woodbury is a very personable guy. He was fun, energetic, and engaged with us perfectly. It was very natural for him and you can tell he is sincere. The worship band is amazing, and I love that they also play popular songs that are on Christian radio. The worship music during the baptism was refreshing and all the songs were amazing. Even if it wasn't planned for someone to get baptized and they wanted to tonight, they offered clothes, shoes, make up, hair dyers, etc for those who weren't prepared. It was very accommodating. After about an hour of baptisms, people started getting up to leave and there was a small crowd of us left. The band was playing worship songs that made you sing your lungs out and it was like being at a concert. The Holy Spirit was SO strong tonight, I teared up many times. There was a total of 30ish people left for the last few to get baptized and it was like Jesus was putting a show on for us tonight. His presence was felt and it was a beautiful night. This was truly one of my best experiences at eagle Brook. We had been craving to worship, praying to be able to worship tonight and we got a whole hour and some to worship him. Thank you for an unforgettable night. The band did absolutely amazing.

This is my church. I've been going here for a couple of years now. We share the church building…read morewith two other congregations - one United Church of Christ (UCC) and the other Disciples of Christ. We trade around sanctuaries every few weeks. After going to a great UCC church in Somerville Massachusetts (shout out to First Church!) it was important to me to find a church that was (a) radically welcoming and (b) acting in a Christian community that was bigger and broader than just other ELCA Lutheran churches nearby. The church is radically welcoming. There is a strong legacy of being tuned into GLBT issues. Our previous minister (who moved on to be lead pastor of a University Church) was selected as our minister even though, at the time, it was not permitted by our denomination (ELCA) because she was lesbian and refused to abide by the church's then-current policy on human sexuality. This congregation helped push the ELCA, which is now, if not welcoming to the queer community, is at least openly confused about what to do with GLBT issues. (Our new minister, by the way, is also great. I swear she could give a great sermon in her sleep.) The membership is of kind of two generations. There are a lot of older folks, who disproportionately attend the early service at 8:30. Do not be fooled by their age and curly old lady hair - these are awesome people who stuck with the church through some really tough spots. They are engaged, open minded, and deeply loving. There are also younger folks who were attracted by the church's radically welcoming message. You'll see more of them if you come to the second service at 10:30. The generations mingle during adult ed between the services, at volunteer events, etc. The church right now is focused on trying to live out - to identify needs in the community and respond to them. Some of our focuses are environmental issues (we've adopted a nearby section of the greenway) and the refugee crisis (all three churches recently voted to become sanctuary supporting). We also do normal Lutheran church volunteering like Feed my Starving Children and Open Arms Minnesota on a regular basis.

It utilizes a combination of in-person worship and livestreaming through its Facebook page. A blended congregation, CPUC embraces the traditions of Presbyterianism and the United Church of Christ (UCC). Committed to social justice, inclusivity, environmental stewardship, radical love, care and service for Loaves and Fishes and other local programs.

Communion is celebrated once per month, with grape juice and floured bread, adding gluten free bread option.

They had a fellowship afterwords with great snacks and refreshments. If you're looking for a non judgmental, non discriminating church, I would recommend this place.
