Serve Team Search
Each campus has many amazing teams of volunteers. Join a team, make new friends, and own the atmosphere at your campus through serving on a Serve Team.
First Saturday Serve
On the first Saturday of each month, teams meet at various locations to share God's love in practical ways by caring for the felt needs within our community.
This group is for those who wish to bless others by making a meal. When a family is facing a challenging situation (whether a new baby, health diagnosis, emergency, etc.) and could use some support, my desire is to help provide some meals. When a need arises, I will create a meal train schedule & send it out to all members. You do not need to participate for every need - you can choose what works for you! My goal is to grow the group to easily provide for any need without relying too heavily on any member. This is not a typical small group & will not be meeting together.
Tuesday at 7:00 AM
This small group will serve as a learning community to help current and future leaders grow in their knowledge of leadership and become more effective leaders. John C. Maxwell a well-known expert on the subject of leadership said that leadership is influence nothing more and nothing less.
Wednesday at 6:00 AM
Start your day out right, join us before work at 6:00 a.m. to read God's Word and discuss with other men. We meet for 1 hour and end at 7:00 a.m. sharp.
Wednesday at 6:30 AM
You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Small Groups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.
Thursday at 6:30 AM • Virtual
Have you been wanting to go deeper in God's Word? Then join us as we gather weekly with other men from Eagan campus to read & study the Bible together. We'll be moving through different books of the Bible, chapter by chapter. The heart of this study is to look at the context of the passage and make observations (What does it say?), Interpretations (What does it mean?), and Applications (How does God want me to apply this in my life?). Whether you're a new believer or have been walking with Jesus most your life, this group will be beneficial for you! You'll be encouraged to study the chapter beforehand and come with questions of your own to discuss. We're meeting virtually Thursday mornings 6:30-7:30am. You can even join the call from work before you clock in.

God is for healthy marriages. A strong marriage with God at the center creates a firm foundation for a family. This is a 10 week course covering 10 of the most common talking points in marriage. We welcome anyone who is seriously dating, engaged, newly married, or married for decades. We will spend 10 weeks (may not be consecutive) covering topics from kids to money to parenting, etc. There will be a video teaching on each topic and book that holds all the tools for discussion throughout the week. You don't have to be in a "rough" season to work on your marriage, Not only is the content enlightening but building community with others with the same goals in marriage is invaluable. NOTE: The Shepps have 4 kids under 10 and anticipate other families with younger kids. We will discuss possible group childcare options as the date gets closer.

This is an informal group meant to provide a resource for moms to find and connect with other moms! Motherhood can be so challenging and isolating and we may not feel seen or understood. This group is meant to connect moms for encouragement, support, play dates, whatever the situation may be! Participants will share their name, contact info, and city of residence so the information can be shared in a spreadsheet with all members. This can then be used to find and connect with moms near you! There will not be a formal weekly meeting, but members are encouraged to contact one another and set things up personally! Some play dates or mom outings may also be scheduled based on interest.

Our group focuses on the weekly sermon. We discuss it in more detail while looking for application ideas we can support each other in implementing.

We partner with ICCM Life Center for a promising evening of God ordained encounters! Teams hit the streets of Minneapolis to love our neighbors, build relationships while connecting with others from your campus that are serving in this capacity. You can serve as often as it works for your schedule. Starting at 6pm we meet at the Life Center for prayer and worship (preparing food is also an option). At 7pm we then load up the Life Center buses and drive to various parts of the city, focusing on encampments, bus stops, high traffic areas and shelters. Throughout the night we will have countless opportunities to pray with, love on, and provide essentials to individuals and families while spreading the JOY OF THE LORD. :) We gather back at the Life Center around 9pm to share our experience, testimonies and encouragement. It’s always powerful to see how the Holy Spirit moves both inside us and through the individuals we meet. Hope to see you there!!
