Thank you for taking the time to check out our website.
Northeast Minneapolis is a great place to live and worship. We celebrate the rich diversity of our community and yet we find in our life as a community of faith, that we are connected in a desire to love, share and work for the good of our neighborhood, our neighbors, and our world.
Together, we are growing! And opening hearts, minds, and doors to environmental sustainability, social justice, and peace. In community, we find everything we need. Come with us!
Peace,
Pastor Sarah Lawton

Northeast United Methodist to Host Marriage Amendment Conversation
Northeast United Methodist Church, will host a “Respectful Conversation” about the proposed marriage amendment which will be on the November 2012 ballot. The conversation will be led by the Minnesota Council of Churches (MCC) and will take place Friday, May 11, 5:00-8:00 p.m. A light supper will be served at 5:00. An organizer for the MCC said the event is not meant to change anyone’s mind with respect to same-sex marriages, but to “build empathy and decrease animosity within and between congregations, and for the state of Minnesota, around this issue.”
