about
Missio Dei is an urban intentional community that includes residential members (in three houses) and members who live nearbye. We are committed to following Jesus’ way of simplicity (seeking a sustainable life with a proper relationship to possessions), hospitality (inviting friends and strangers to share our life together), prayer (being rooted in life-giving spiritual rhythms), and peacemaking (breaking our addiction to power as we get in the way of violence and injustice).
We are rooted in the West Bank area of Minneapolis, committed to Anabaptist beliefs, and seek to embody the radical love of Christ in the shadow of Empire.
The West Bank:
The West Bank of Minneapolis (aka “Cedar Riverside”) is a diverse neighborhood of immigrants, refugees, punks, artists, homeless people, students, activists and professionals all within about one square mile. It is, in fact, the most densely populated square mile between Chicago and Los Angeles, containing close to 9,000 economically and ethnically diverse residents. More than 2/3 of the neighborhood is low-income or below the poverty level.
Community Houses:
Some of our members live together in three houses. Sattler House is located at 3312 31st Ave S in Minneapolis. Clare House is located at 2717 8th Street S in Minneapolis. We have a third house next door to Clare, but we haven’t named it yet.
