Beyond Sunday
Small groups, kids and student ministries, a citywide food shelf, and teams that need an extra set of hands — here's where to plug in.
Ministries
Nursery through 5th grade, at every campus, every service.
Middle and high school students, midweek and on Sundays.
A community built for people in their 20s figuring out what's next.
Support and friendship for moms at every stage of parenting.
A recovery-style ministry for anyone working through addiction or struggle.
An open, low-pressure space to ask honest questions about faith.
Weekly gatherings in homes across the metro — the fastest way to actually know people here.
Worship, production, hospitality, and dozens of other volunteer teams every weekend.
Local and global outreach, including Foster One and church planting through the ARC.
Local outreach
Manna Market is a food recovery and distribution ministry run out of our Northtown campus, in partnership with Anoka County, Second Harvest Heartland, and grocers like Target and Cub Foods. Recovered bread, milk, eggs, produce, and more go straight to anyone who needs them — veterans, families, and neighbors alike.
