About

• Tena Haile★★★★★3 months ago

  I decided to bring my family on Easter Sunday for the first time. We loved it it feels very welcoming. We will be coming back this Sunday(Ethiopia Easter) by the grace of God.

  We’ve attended for the last year and a half and at first I enjoyed the teachings and kept coming for the kids programming. They have now cut the youth programming on sundays and the teachings have steadily been less focused on the Bible. Today for instance, they were pushing a book for the congregation to get. This is probably the last day we will attend. They are good people but it feels anemic, not much growth, needs a good solid overhaul.

  Beautiful close knit Church who's sole focus is on Jesus

  No love like Christian hate, telling a teenager to leave the church because homosexuality “is catching and will affect other kids,” how very classy of you. If you like homophobia, this is the church for you.

  Factors to consider before becoming a member of a church: 1)Water baptism -Matthew 28:19 2)Acknowledgement of sins (Romans 8:23) 3)Discipleship-Matthew 20:19 4)Generosity -Acts 20:35 5)Supportting marriage 1Timothy 4:3 6)Inclusivity -a church of Christ must accommodate everyone.(12 disciples of Jesus ) 7)Sharing a meal -Acts 4:32 8)Bible evidence-2 Timothy 4:2 I have been a member at gracefellowship for 8 years and I don’t expect people to be perfect.I was once a minister and I understand challenges church of Christ face .There are people who are staged in the church intentionally to break the body of Christ and it is understandable.Be watchful and pray .

  I attended Grace Fellowship with my service dog while visiting family and we were both greeted with open arms and warm hearts. The service reminded me a lot of my home church. I spoke with the pastor and some of the other members each were so encouraging, nice and just made us feel so welcome. If you're looking for a nondenominational church to call home from my experience I would recommend you visit Grace Fellowship Church to see if God is calling it home for you.

  Amazing church that we have called home for 12 years. Amazing message every week. Wonderful kids care. Friendly welcoming staff and volunteers.

• Kelly Lindell★★★★★10 years ago

  I have been a member here for nearly 18 years. We left and helped with a new start up church for a while but came back because we love it here. Many opportunities to learn and grow and build close relationships with wonderful people while you grow closer to Jesus. Has been a wonderful place for our three children to learn and begin their own personal walk with Christ as well.

  This church is amazing. They are teaching right out of the Bible. Very welcoming and a great sense of community.

  Love Love Grace! We have been coming over a year now. It is not only a church for married people with kids. Yes there are more activities with kids but of course there is, right? My husband and I still go to activities separate from each other that have nothing to do with marriage or kids. Yes the music is amazing and yes it is like a concert..I'm not seeing the downside there. The messages are great and easy to relate to. I'm proud to call Grace my church.

  When the lady came on stage and said "Hi, I'm here from the office”, I knew, another for profit tax exempt church/. When she mentioned free gifts at the kiosk, I was certain the anointed one was also the CEO. Massive and very dark except for the stage. I am not a troll, and take reviewing churches much more seriously than restaurants and such. I describe any negative experiences in a respectful manner. But I experienced and saw what I saw. It's a variety show that features a lead pastor (dressed for an AA meeting, in hoodie and jeans) reading scripture from his phone, and gesticulating thru prayer. Also talk show format updates, engagement teams and lots of lame music. At one time, the singer on an acoustic guitar just read verses to the music. It was wonderful. Then the chorus of the imploringly gifted trashed it and started singing unfamiliar contemporary songs. It is well choreographed including applause and see you next week. Part of every service is polling the audience for doubters and singles by hand. If you're single then go hook up and bring him/her, to meet the Fam. But he won’t marry mixed folks. I guess once a sinner, always one. Mentions 50% singles within 10 miles. Is there something wrong about being single and childless? Is this a time to build house and start families? When you sign-up you’re a believer and you can start to baptize and minister to the unwashed. They clearly know their "demographics". Taking snaps of the Codes on screen are a must. One Sunday he wanted us to record three minutes of him that could be written on a page. Another Sunday there were 2 separate prayers. One for those that "get it" and those still looking. Many sermons address hooking up and financial advice. Aren't the tabernacles and the synagogues better at these things? A lot of talk about tithing. It was made clear that a girl shouldn't date a guy who doesn't give the full 10%.. Help them build that Church in a foreign land to set up a timeshare ministry for the anointed. Many .orgs have a gift subscription scheme so you can give $5 a month to many needy you found. When pastor announce a $10K matching donation that day nobody cheered. Super bowl sermon was disconnected but featured $25 gift cards if you won, hot dogs and football tossing. It continued with a concept called "30 second theology. A takeoff of the 30 second commercials during the super bowl. It featured ads from E*TRADE, Amazon, bitcoin, snickers and FedEx. Aren't these, some of the megacompanies that set their own agenda and drive the hyperbolic consumer compulsion? I felt insulted in a "church". Watching online would make the service like a TV show. They offer small group enrollment at a cost as seem usual these days. Mostly about finances and interpersonal relationships. Only for those that feel impervious to societal pressures. Phrases like retail therapy protestant imperialism franchising, non-profit business models. Talking about the fiscal year and such. It's like going to a friend’s house to eat, a beautifully set table and the chicken is rare. Communion is a kit, the convenient package that loves a landfill. Baptism is arranged not every week, but anybody can join in on the fun. Take me to the river please, its right down the road. Not a hot tub on camera. I want to hear and see some birds and sunshine glistening on the water. I wish they would allow some light in. And plants. If you believe like they tell you in AA that the only way to life, truth and love is to maintain a building or group, then you've missed the point. Good works all week, everywhere, are enough opportunities to give. Or maybe your church wants to by some jet skis for a "lake ministry".

  Wonderful loosely denominational large church with modern music, message, and children program. They try togreet new faces, but it is a very large congregation and makes it difficult. They have a place for people with small children to be separated but still see/hear the sermon so that you don't have to worry about making noise. All in all, a good choice for someone looking for a more lively atmosphere and active congregation.

• Steve Lotz★★★★☆3 years ago

  I love Jesus. This church, they love Jesus too.... very loudly.... I've only been there the one time, and as sad as it sounds, I'll not be going back unless Jesus himself is giving the sermon. My ears hurt. My daughter said it was too loud. Again, sad as it sounds, I can't do it. Bring muffs.

• Barry Andreson★☆☆☆☆6 years ago

  I'm glad every one has had such great experiences with this church. My wife and I have been on the hunt for a church for a while. We have attended this church twice now. Filled out the card twice. Put the card in the offering twice. Kind of hoped to hear from the church. Nope... not a peep. I guess they don't want us for whatever reason.

  12/7/2018 - My husband and I went for a drive last night to look at Christmas lights and thought to swing by Grace Fellowship on 169. Thank you for changing out that red light to a blue light! It looks so much better!!! 11/16/2018 - My husband and I went for a drive last night and was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful lights display right off 169 by this church. It certainly is a sight to see while driving by - each tree beautifully decorated with every color of the rainbow! Our only complaint is that one of the windows look like something out of a horror movie...a red spotlight was on a circular window with an X in it (the window looks a bit like the crosshairs of a gun) - he said it would be better if it was an alternating spotlight of green and red (or another color entirely, like the teal from the trees), that way it didn't look so "creepy."

  Grace is an amazing nondenominational church and despite its size the lead pastor, Joe Boyd, greets everyone by name and makes himself available after service for questions and advice. The staff is kind and compassionate and the children and youth pastors keep the kids engaged and entertained.

• Thomas L (TRL)★★★★★6 years ago

  Pastor Joe is very compassionate and presents himself very well! The kind of person you couldn't help but admire and appreciate. Very well spoken. A nice relaxed atmosphere.

• Debra Backer★★★★★7 years ago

  Since we are renting in Brooklyn Park, we have been BLESSED to attend Grace on a few Sundays and for worthwhile classes on life-giving topics; based on God’s Word and Truth. Grateful for their mission and exceptional way of Welcoming visitors! May God Bless them!

  One time I was driving around looking for a church that is near to me because I live over at Champlin or used to go to a different church but it was way too far and different times and I passed us I’ve always seen this and finally I went to it I felt welcome out of five churches I went through that day and this has been my church since 2013 year that was my daughter was born. Try and give it a try they’re awesome they said lotta new changes but I always welcome it the people here are awesome and I believe the message I’m receiving helps me through every struggle that I’m going through and every day is life as a single mother and a parent to two beautiful children.

• Calvin Konop★★★★★11 years ago

  I grew up going to this church, and though I don't attend now (I'm employed at another church) I still network regularly with Grace. It's a fantastic church, rooted in Baptist tradition and theology, and a place that I would recommend to any family!
