About Us

Our Mission, Vision and Values

Our Mission: Prompted by Revelation 21, we believe that God is calling Minneapolis to be a New City where All Tribes are Welcomed in, where there is No More Violence, and where the Whole Earth Is Renewed.

Our Vision: To create inspired and skilled communities that join God in transforming the world.

Environmental Sustainability

Norhteast United Methodist Church works hard to be an environmentally sustainable organization. Here are some of the steps we’ve taken toward that goal:

Paper cups and plates have been vanquished from our facility! We use our china – even for small meetings – and wash it in the dishwasher.
We compost. We compost our coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable scraps from community meals. We compost our alter flowers. And, when we harvest food from our community garden, we compost the leaves and vines.
We recycle. Plastic, phone books, paper, metal cans. We recently entered into a fundraising agreement with K & K Metal Recycling. We save all our non-ferrous metals and send them to K & K. They weigh them and send the church a check for the metal.
We’ve installed rain barrels at the church and at the parsonage. We use the rain water to water the flowers in our garden.
We’ve also installed a timed sprinkler system in our garden to control our water usage.
We’ve installed bike racks on the Cleveland St. side of the church. Ride your bike to church!
