There are many ways to take action for social justice through Hennepin Avenue UMC.
As United Methodists, we are called first to do no harm.
We are also called to love God, and to do good toward all people,
at all times, in all places.
Christ, who leads us with love,
calls us to work for justice and peace.

Get Involved in Ending Homelessness
Welcoming and supporting people living in poverty on their path to stability, The Dignity Center is an interfaith outreach ministry of Hennepin Avenue UMC. The Dignity Center…
Operates with the support of a network of community and faith-based organizations; provides direct service ministry with which community partners become involved; offers social service and ministry students a place to learn and grow.

Volunteers from all backgrounds are welcome; from police work to social work, from healthcare to real estate–and everything in between! Student internships from various tertiary institutions are accommodated.
