Building Up

Building Up The Body Of Christ

God gives gifts to serve the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ in love. - Ephesians 4

Our Story

Our church was born from an act of generosity when the people of Old Immanuel Lutheran Church in Minneapolis gave their final assets to plant a daughter congregation “way out” in Eden Prairie. That was 1961.

In the decades since, our members have prepared a place for ministry by generously sharing their financial resources, caring for our building and grounds, and preparing wonderful gathering spaces where members of our community have come to worship, learn, play, socialize, work, eat, sleep and care for one another.

But our story doesn’t end there. We have always reached out beyond the walls of our church, gratefully sharing with our neighbors down the street and around the world - helping ministries as new as Onward Eden Prairie and as established as Mexico’s AMEXTRA prepare caring spaces for the members of their communities.

This is how we build up the body of Christ, in love. Our story continues because of you. Thank you for prayerfully considering a financial gift to our 2019-21 Building Up Capital Campaign.

In Christ,

Pastor Paul

Our Plan

Here’s the breakdown of how we’ll use the funds raised through this campaign.

CARING - $500,000

  • Pay for building maintenance and improvements over the next three years - $250,000
  • Pay down our Church equity loan - $250,000

PREPARING - $150,000

  • Start saving now for two major projects that will need attention in the next 3-6 years: our roof and the aging heating systems for the sanctuary and atrium.

SHARING - $50,000

  • Contribute to the capital fund appeal of our long-time ministry partner AMEXTRA, which transforms living conditions in marginalized communities in Mexico. AMEXTRA is raising money to purchase a building large enough to accommodate the growing number of volunteers, interns, and trainings that are becoming engaged in its work.
  • Provide financial support for an emerging ministry that serves the growing Latino population in Chaska, Shakopee, and Jordan. We are one of several southwest churches who are providing support.
