While I am not a member of this church, I have visited 4 or 5 times over the past year, and each time, I have come away with the following views of this community: 1) They're all about the person, Jesus Christ. He lived and He died and He rose again - for all of us. 2) They're going to love on you. People are genuinely welcoming, and not in a superficial way. 3) The teaching is powerful, intellectually challenging, and thoroughly Bible-centric. If you want to dig in further on their theological views, check out http://hopecc.com/about-us/mission-vision/. 4) You're going to be called to serve God there. They have countless opportunities to serve the city, serve the church, and serve globally. The church is located in downtown Minneapolis, so get ready to dig in to serve our city. http://hopecc.com/serve/ 5) Hope CC takes music seriously: "it as it is the duty of the Worship Team to follow the model of God's creational artistic example by striving to create accessible, authentic, (and sometimes provocative!) musical art." Their worship centers around hymns composed/arranged within modern/contemporary music styles. They're recording a worship album now. I cannot recommend this church highly enough. Check it out.

This is my church. I've been going here for a couple of years now. We share the church building…read morewith two other congregations - one United Church of Christ (UCC) and the other Disciples of Christ. We trade around sanctuaries every few weeks. After going to a great UCC church in Somerville Massachusetts (shout out to First Church!) it was important to me to find a church that was (a) radically welcoming and (b) acting in a Christian community that was bigger and broader than just other ELCA Lutheran churches nearby. The church is radically welcoming. There is a strong legacy of being tuned into GLBT issues. Our previous minister (who moved on to be lead pastor of a University Church) was selected as our minister even though, at the time, it was not permitted by our denomination (ELCA) because she was lesbian and refused to abide by the church's then-current policy on human sexuality. This congregation helped push the ELCA, which is now, if not welcoming to the queer community, is at least openly confused about what to do with GLBT issues. (Our new minister, by the way, is also great. I swear she could give a great sermon in her sleep.) The membership is of kind of two generations. There are a lot of older folks, who disproportionately attend the early service at 8:30. Do not be fooled by their age and curly old lady hair - these are awesome people who stuck with the church through some really tough spots. They are engaged, open minded, and deeply loving. There are also younger folks who were attracted by the church's radically welcoming message. You'll see more of them if you come to the second service at 10:30. The generations mingle during adult ed between the services, at volunteer events, etc. The church right now is focused on trying to live out - to identify needs in the community and respond to them. Some of our focuses are environmental issues (we've adopted a nearby section of the greenway) and the refugee crisis (all three churches recently voted to become sanctuary supporting). We also do normal Lutheran church volunteering like Feed my Starving Children and Open Arms Minnesota on a regular basis.

I found the preaching excellent, the music likewise, and there are numerous and varied opportunities for spiritual growth. However, I must rate the church "average" for one reason: the Senior Pastor jet-sets all over the world and tries to dress it up with a "stained glass" excuse of "carrying the gospel hear, near and far." In fact, I think he's likely OUT of the country more than he is IN it. On weekends he preaches, he tells the congregation about weekends he was absent; stating he just returned from South America, Indonesia, Africa, Sri Lanka, wherever! Anyone with any degree of familiarity with foreign travel can easily discern that this activity has to cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually when the frequency is considered. There is airfare, ground transportation, food, lodging and miscellaneous expense associated with this kind of a lifestyle. It is dressed up in the "stained glass" excuse of "carrying the gospel here, near and far." (I would say "near" is a better idea; there have to be tens of thousands within the outer limits of the church locally who could benefit from the gospel and/or the expenditure of funds this travel entails.) The church is about to change Senior Pastors; the new one takes office September 1. However, the old one is "transitioning" into a role in which he will continue this lifestyle. If anything, I expect he'll do more of it. I simply cannot support this, and In my opinion, it is simply shameless jet-setting on someone else's dime. For this reason, I don't pledge and must rate the church "average" even though "excellent" would otherwise be in order.
