Advent-Candles

Most of what shapes our community happens in the unscheduled times. However, here’s a snapshot of the regular rhythm of life at Missio Dei: Sunday evenings at 5pm, we gather together at Clare House (2717 8th Street S in Minneapolis), one of our community houses.

about us

Folks gathered at the "Hospitality Train."

Founded in 2003, Missio Dei is an urban intentional community with two community/hospitality houses. We are also a church that welcomes visitors of all backgrounds to our regular gatherings and meals. We are committed to following Jesus’ way of simplicity (seeking a sustainable life with a healthy relationship to possessions), hospitality (inviting friends and strangers to share our life together), prayer (being rooted in life-giving spiritual rhythms), peacemaking (breaking our addiction to power as we get in the way of violence and injustice), and resistance (naming and challenging oppression wherever we find it as we seek to embody an alternative).

We are rooted in the West Bank (and surrounding) area of Minneapolis, committed to Anabaptist beliefs, and seek to embody the radical love of Christ in the shadow of Empire.

Most of our members live together in two houses. Sattler House is located at 3312 31st Ave S in Minneapolis. Clare House is located at 2717 8th Street S in Minneapolis.
