Called by God’s grace to preach the Word, make disciples for Christ, and build the Kingdom of God.

Sundays 10 am

Launching August 9, 2026

Why plant a church?

Jesus commissioned his followers to “make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:18).
Apostle Paul planted churches in strategic cities so the “Word of God spread throughout the whole region” (Acts 13:49).
Church plants are effective in reaching unchurched people. Research shows that 60-80% of church plant members were not previously worshiping with a church.
Church plants are effective in reaching new generations, new residents, and new church leaders. A church plant forms a new spiritual community to combat loneliness.
The Twins Cities has a population of 3,500,000 and only has around 3500 churches. More Christ-centered churches will lead to gospel saturation of our city.

Preach the Word

Hear a sermon by Pastor Eli titled “The Church” from Acts 20:17-38.
