Jesus & People: Mission Possible
Jesus returned home with power and promise—but when he spoke of God’s grace for outsiders, the crowd turned violent. What happens when good news offends instead of excites?

Card-Making for the Elderly (after service)
We had such a positive response to the Christmas cards we made in December that we’re doing it again! This time, it’s SPRING cards to bring smiles to the faces of older adults across Minnesota at risk of loneliness and isolation.

Jesus & People: Demand Over Demons
The driving out of the demon from the man in the synagogue in Capernaum shows that Jesus, as God, has authority over the demonic.

Jesus & People: The Great Physician
Jesus heals with divine authority, yet still retreats to pray. His power came with purpose—and it started in solitude.

Jesus & People: The Call to All
At Jesus’ word, empty nets become overflowing. Stunned by the miracle, Simon and his crew drop everything to follow the one who calls them to fish for people.

Jesus & People: What the Signs Say
A desperate man reaches out—and Jesus touches the untouchable. As word spreads of the miracle, Jesus retreats to pray, showing power and purpose go hand in hand.

Jesus & People: Who Can Forgive Sin?
When a paralyzed man is lowered through a roof, Jesus does the unthinkable—he forgives sins before healing. What kind of authority stuns a crowd and silences the critics?

Jesus & People: What Do You Think?
Luke’s conversion and banquet with Jesus show that Jesus’ mission was to help those who needed help, not those who didn’t.

Jesus & People: The Place of Jesus
Why aren’t Jesus’ disciples fasting? His answer isn’t just about food—it’s about weddings, wine, and a whole new way of life.

Jesus & People: Every Day Lordship
Jesus responds, to the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, to their questioning about the disciples “working” and Jesus healing on the Sabbath for he tells them that he is Lord of the Sabbath.

Jesus & People: Decisions by Prayer
Before choosing his twelve disciples, Jesus spent the entire night in prayer. What if our biggest decisions flowed from our deepest dependence on God?

Easter Packing Party
Stick around after service to help us prep eggs and fill candy bags for our largest community event of the year.

The Shame of Easter
The story of Easter is one of hope and victory. But it’s also one of unimaginable shame—the shame of betrayal, denial, mockery, and the cross itself.

Healing Family Wounds
Family wounds can run deep, but God’s grace runs deeper. In this special experiential service, we’ll create space for prayer, reflection, and healing as we seek God’s restoration in our family relationships. Come and experience the hope and healing Jesus offers.

Ladies Tea Party
Savor a special time of tea, laughter, and inspiration as we “brew growth together."

Valuing Children in the Kingdom of God
Jesus made it clear that children have a special place in God’s Kingdom, and how we treat them reflects our understanding of His love. Come explore how honoring the youngest among us deepens our faith and transforms our relationships.

Honoring Your Father and Mother
Do adult children still have to obey their parents? Is it possible to disagree with or even disobey your parents while still honoring them? Find out how to walk that delicate balance.

Tackling Conflict Head-On
When we directly face conflict with honesty, empathy, and a willingness to listen, we can transform tension into an opportunity for growth and deeper relationships with our loved ones and with God.

Creating Emotional Safety
Relationships thrive when we feel safe to be honest, vulnerable, and truly known. In this message, we’ll explore how to create an environment of emotional safety in our marriages, friendships, families, and church community.

Setting Healthy Boundaries
Healthy boundaries create healthy relationships. Broken boundaries create broken relationships. Learn how to have more of the former and less of the latter.

Support Refugees Interest Meeting (BP Campus)
Learn how you can partner with Arrive Ministries to assist refugee families affected by the recent presidential executive orders.

Values 2034: We Have Fun Together
Church should be fun. Kids and youth ministries know this, but somehow “adult church” seems to have forgotten or even rejected this idea. Maybe it’s time to recapture the fun of following Jesus together.

Support Refugees Interest Meeting (St. Paul Campus)

Values 2034: We are Courageously Transparent
Honesty is scary. But it’s also critical in building trust and community. So, we will be courageous in being real and transparent about our lives, families, and ministries.

Values 2034: We Entrust the Next Generation
We don’t just value the next generation, but we entrust them—with our time, our space, our dollars, and our ministry. This means that everyone is invested in their spiritual growth, character development, and mission focus.

Values 2034: We Have an Abundance Mindset
It’s easy to live out of a scarcity mindset, hording and protecting precious resources. But the kingdom of God is marked by abundance, so we will operate out of God’s overflowing abundance and limitless supply of everything we need.

Values 2034: We Are Ministers of Restoration
From Genesis to Revelation, God’s story is one of restoration, weaving through its narrative God’s work to redeem, heal, and restore humanity and creation. The Church is the primary tool for that restoration.

Values 2034: We Apprentice Under Jesus
Being a Christian is not simply believing in Jesus and saying you’re a Christian, it’s becoming an apprentice under Jesus. This involves being with Jesus, becoming like him, and doing what he did.
