About Us

We reflect the Chisago Lakes population and beyond. Here you just might be offered a hot cup of coffee by someone who has attended the church for 60 years, or by someone who has attended for one month! We enjoy the rich energy, vision, wisdom and fun that only a group of people
from a variety of generations can bring.

Here you will find people from nearly every walk of life and vocation. You will find people who rely on each other and who together have learned to rely on the hope, power and love that only God can bring.

We believe that a church should operate as a unified community of servants with everyone using their spiritual gifts.

We believe that love should permeate every aspect of church life.

We believe that devotion to Jesus Christ is essential for every believer.
