Empty Chair Service | Shakopee

You were created for a greater purpose. Your greatest wish is to be used to accomplish something significant. You dream, you imagine, and you can actually see your purpose become realities because of the abilities that God has placed inside of you. You are made to be fulfilled, engaged and to cast out all fears, doubts and uncertainties so that you can stand out and rise up to be the person you were created to be.

We strive to see students of every age discover who they are in Jesus Christ. We know that this discovery will lead you to walk in the God-given power of the Holy Spirit and will allow you to radically change your culture.

Youth meets Wednesdays nights for a time of deep worship, dynamic messages, and powerful events. We believe that students, more than any other age group, need to connect with a real God who can relate to them in a real world.

Through YTH+ students will build community and grow deeper in their faith outside of a Wednesday night. This semester students will go through YTH Alpha led by Pastor Michael. We would love for your student to join us for YTH+!

Discipleship begins with freedom in Christ, courageous character, clean conduct, and pure hearts. Walk this walk of faith alongside other men who will spur you on to become more like Jesus! This Men's ministry event will be hosted at our Apple Valley Campus (14898 Energy Way, Apple Valley). 

Join us for our Welcome Lunch every quarter. If you're new to the church or are looking for community we'd love to invite you to our Welcome Lunch following our 11am service where you'll get a chance to meet our staff, enjoy a lunch, and grow in fellowship with other believers. Childcare will be provided.

We are creating a space for leaders in the marketplace to connect, support one another, and focus on reflecting Christ in our work. This event is open invite.

Join us at any of our campuses on the National Day of Prayer for an hour of corporate prayer from 12pm-1pm. Pastors and leaders will guide us as we pray for families, the church, education, the arts and entertainment, the media, business, and government in our nation. The Maple Grove campus team will be gathering at the Maple Grove Government Park and Public Library, meeting behind the government center and police department. The Faribault Campus will be gathering in front of the Rice County Courthouse. 

Join us for a night of worship, happening across all of our campuses, as we set aside devoted time for prayer and worship as a church family. We believe that one moment in the presence of God can change everything! No childcare provided.
