About Us
Family of God is a welcoming community of faith which has carried out ministry in the Brooklyn Park Area since 1970. It is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Today's membership is a rich mix of individuals and families, longtime and newer members, joined together to grow in faith and serve in Christ's name. Members of all ages take part in worship, learning, outreach, service, hospitality, friendship-building events and programs in youth and family ministry. New member groups form at least twice a year, but whether or not you are seeking a church home, your visit or call is welcome.

You are welcome here at Family of God! You are welcome to share in God's love, forgiveness, and grace. You are welcome no matter your race or culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status. You are welcome without regard to your state of physical or mental health, addictions, past mistakes, socio-economic circumstances, political opinions, or anything else which threatens to divide us.

"As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus."
--Galatians 3: 27-28
Mission Statement
Children By Grace, Extending Christ's Embrace
What We Believe
We believe in the Triune God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and the Gospel as the power of God for salvation for all who believe.
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God, inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, recording and announcing God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ.
We believe the Church to be a people created by God in Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit, called, and sent to communicate God's creative, redeeming, and sanctifying activity in the world.
Vision
We are building a growing and engaged faith community committed to proclaiming the love of Christ.
