I want to write a review that will help both the first-timer who's maybe not sure about God and the…read moreseasoned Christian who's looking for a new church home. I've been here four times now, so I believe I have enough to pull from to write a good review. It doesn't feel like your "average" church. It will feel different than what you expect from a church. There's lots of younger, casually-dressed, coffee-holding people mingling around the sanctuary before the service. The stage has a wide variety of instruments and the space has a no-nonsense aesthetic, with the original, old-school features intact from the church who resided in the space before Hope. You'll quickly learn that the church is about the people. You'll likely be approached by somebody else, and it's not that they spotted a newcomer; chances are, they are probably also a newcomer who wants to meet someone. You're definitely not going to be alone as a first-timer, and the people who start off the service are going to be accommodating to that. The worship band isn't your old Lutheran church's white-haired, calm and quiet kind of band. Be prepared for a rock concert-like experience. You'll see dreads and pink hair. The level of musicianship is leagues above anything you've heard in a church. Once worship wraps up, the pastor counterpart of Jay Leno will walk up, with witty one-liners that will make you feel comfortable, if the band or nice people around you already haven't. Steve Treichler is very easy to listen to. Not only does he have his own brand of humor, but he's a great teacher who will spend time going slowly and methodically through the passage at hand for the week. For example, he breaks down the Greek words that the New Testament is written in, he'll provide cross-references to other books in the Bible, he'll call upon the ideas of old theologians, and he infuses his own experiences and stories. It's never dense; it's always accessible and interesting to the layperson. I guarantee you will learn something about God and the Gospel. The Gospel is preached here every Sunday. Getting involved in the community and communicating hope in Christ to the watching peoples in the Twin Cities are of utmost importance for this church. This review doesn't do justice; you need to be there to experience Hope. I highly recommend it.

Central serves those in need-we have a clothing closet, employment center, nursing center, and a variety of social services available to anyone in need. Period. We are alive on Sundays for services, but also all week long to serve. Amazing! 2. Central strives to be a relevant church....for married couples, single 20-somethings, gay/straight/questioning individuals, elderly widows, young children, divorced parents...anyone!

This was a perfect collaboration with the church and Candle Light. I was blessed to be in town to see the performance. The church architecture is absolutely beautiful, equally the same inside. They have parking on the side of street, make sure you pay the meter, it was only $2 for 2hrs. The cheapest parking you will find in the whole city. Follow the ticket directions and follow signs once you get to church. This will help you go in the correct door for the show. The ushers will help you with your seating area once checked in. Service was welcoming and bathrooms were clean. The show started on time and was fabulous, the musicians performed beautifully rendition of Adele. I definitely would attend a show here again in the near future. I sat upstairs in the balcony area, perfect view and sound was excellent. If you get a chance go see a Candle Light show, it was a great experience!

This church was kind to me and my family, and was a good place to learn a lot of good things, but they don't do community particularly well. When I graduated from Seminary and asked for the chance to volunteer and get involved, it was very difficult to earn their trust. There are a lot of good things about this church, and it was a privilege to attend. Unfortunately I was in the membership process for over 2 years and was never able to get through the process. The leadership was very slow and unresponsive in this respect. Ultimately we moved on as God led us.

John Piper has been the lead pastor for 30-plus years, and he will be transitioning out of that role at the end of 2012. Jason Meyer will take over in 2013 as the teaching pastor, and all indications are that Meyer will provide excellent leadership to this congregation for many years to come. While the church is large (multiple campuses throughout the Twin Cities), you will be welcomed in with open arms upon visiting any of the campuses. The downtown campus has a large, wide-open foyer where the congregation socializes before and after church services. For the coffee drinkers and pastry-eaters out there (doesn't that make 99% of us?), you'll be infinitely grateful for the free coffee (replete with Splenda and cream) and freshly-baked pastry items available after the 9 am service on Sunday mornings. The Bible is the core of all teaching and ministry at BBC. In today's postmodern culture, it's refreshing to hear passionate sermons centered on gospel truth. There is no shortage of challenging teaching and real, raw relationships at BBC. Lastly, since the church is so large, I recommend immediately getting involved with a small group. The church website has a great tool to find small groups that fit with your schedule and location in the Twin Cities.
