DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS

Free Grace United Downtown Minneapolis Sunday service is a church with a heart for the broken, homeless, and addicted. One week at a time we bring hope and freedom to the community that surrounds us. 
We offer a great gospel-focused kid’s church during every service, modern worship music, and grace-based Bible teaching. 
Come as you are! We are a casual place to explore God at your own pace. After parking in the lot next to the building, come in and ask for a free parking pass.

Oct 18-20 – Fall Student Retreat at Pine Lake Camps in Eldora, IA (Grades 9-12)

Pine Lake Camps' Fall Student Retreat is like if summer camp was a little bit cooler (temperature-wise), a little bit more laid back (schedule-wise), and equally as fun and impactful! Senior High students, come take a mid-semester break at PLC! You're in for a weekend of AWESOME food, powerful worship & teaching, exciting games, events & activities, and lots of chill-time to just hang out by the campfire with your besties. You might even see some of your favorite counselors from past summers! (All students will be under the supervision & leadership of cabin counselors, just like summer camp.)

Nov 1-3 – Fall Women’s Retreat at Pine Lake Camps in Eldora, IA

Ladies... This fall, we are choosing not to "fall" for the idea that life must be BIG and LOUD and BUSY and PRODUCTIVE 24 / 7 / 365. When we invite you to our Fall Retreat, we are inviting you to truly... Retreat. To Rest. Breathe. Listen. Receive. Our retreat this year is a little later in the season, just before the holidays hit with their typical excitement and obligations. On November 1-3, 2024, we will open Pine Lake Camps to you and your girlfriends for a reprieve and re-set...and then a graceful returning to your place in this wild, beautiful world God has given us.

We offer Kids Church for kids up to grade 5.

We use Bible-based curriculum that includes age-appropriate discipleship through teaching, games, and crafts. We have a special focus on tangible aspects of discipleship – helping kids navigate their Bibles, pray in groups, use their gifts to serve others, build friendships, and share their faith – all while teaching the Gospel every week.
