How does God’s Love show up in the world?
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
One of the most important responsibilities we at Hennepin Avenue UMC have is caring for each other. Care can take many forms but as a community of faith based on the teachings of Jesus, it must always be measured in love. Care is about the good and bad, the big and little, events that make up a human life. It means taking brave steps to ask for help when you need it, leaning on the community in times of sorrow and fear, getting perspective when you can’t see clearly, having an ally, or just a community to celebrate with! All of this is care.

Celebrate Life Events
A community in Christ is a community that journeys with you through all stages of life: from being baptized into the faith, to celebrating the union of weddings, to commemorating a life’s end. The strength of a community built in love of Christ is our steadfastness to be with you, and you with us, for the whole journey no matter what. Click button below to schedule a baptism, wedding,

Get Support
Support is one of the most important aspects of Care. We all need support in our daily lives and to tackle larger challenges and problems. Support comes in many forms - mental, emotional, spiritual, and material (financial). And sometimes it
can mean the difference between getting up or staying down. It is that important. If you're looking for support, you've already taken a big leap forward!
