The mission of The Dignity Center is to welcome and support people dealing with financial and housing insecurity on their path to stability. Through a committed team of trained volunteers, The Dignity Center works one-on-one with people to build relationships, helps them to set goals toward greater self-sufficiency and stability, and develops and implements a plan to reach those goals.

Our name says it all, and when one walks through our doors they are welcomed with dignity and respect. Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do at The Dignity Center.

At Hennepin Avenue UMC we believe that worship is the work of the people. Sermons explore the intersection of historical texts and current realities. Our excellent music program launches soul through choral and communal song. Children lead in worship, we sing varieties of hymns meant to engage hearts and imaginations, and our cathedral sanctuary bears witness to an enduring desire to praise God in all ways. In the United Methodist Church, communion is open to all and is shared on the first Sunday of the month. Worship is enriched by a variety of voices, including our pastors, Rev. Elizabeth Macaulay and Rev. Christy Key, along with guest preachers and members of the community.

The death of a loved one whether it be a spouse, a child, a sibling or a close friend, can be the source of great pain or depression, particularly in the holiday season when the feeling of their absence can be very acute. If the burden still weighs you down, come and find understanding and comfort to lighten your load. All are welcome whether the loss is recent or in the past.

People may attend in person or on Zoom.

Community Meals

Community Meals is Hennepin Avenue UMC’s hospitality and feeding ministry. For over 30 years, we’ve been part of a downtown church consortium committed to providing a hot meal on Sunday evenings to low-income and homeless people. Hennepin participates in hosting the Community Meals program on the 1st and 5th Sundays of the month. We share this hospitality with a rotating group of congregations. 10-15 volunteers welcome 50-70 guests to a delicious dinner. While serving meals is the key component, this is a ministry of welcome as we share God’s love with our neighbors.

If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here!

Community Meals are on the 1st and 5th Sundays of each month at Hennepin.

No training is needed. Kristy Barnes Certified Food Safety Manager and is licensed by the State. You can just show up, welcome and serve our guests, and that’s it!
