GET INVOLVED

We're so happy that you are interested in getting involved! Minnekirken has a vibrant community, and there are many ways to get involved in our church family.

All events are open to anyone, and no previous experience or membership is ever required. Unless otherwise noted, all events that take place at Minnekirken have free admission.

 

  • Church/Worship Service: Sundays at 11 a.m., followed by Coffee Hour. We celebrate Communion every second and fourth Sunday of the month. Everyone is always welcome to the table of the Lord!

 

  • 'Lean into the Lectionary' Bible Study: Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Join us for fellowship, morning coffee, and conversations about upcoming sermon readings. You can follow along wherever you are by way of the YouVersion-app and/or bible.com.

  • 'Fantastisk 4' Sunday School for elementary school-age children: Meets most every fourth Sunday of the school year at 11 a.m. These Sundays are also the days our 11 a.m. service is designated Family Worship.
