Community Partnership


Responding with compassion

to make an impact in the lives of people of south Minneapolis and beyond

Who we partner with:

  • Bethany Global University Student Missions

    BGU students who attend Urban Refuge and are pursuing an interculturally-focused higher education experience in which they are transformed by the Cross, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and prepared to lead by serving and to extend God’s Kingdom to where it is not.

  • Catalyst for Harmony

    Catalyst for Harmony aims to accelerate biblically-centered and gospel-fueled discipleship in racial harmony to promote greater unity in the Body of Christ. The organization exhibits a relentless passion for cultivating harmony in our divided communities and fractured churches.

  • In The Gap

    Bill and Patty Saunders serve at In The Gap, a ministry that challenges young people to love God with all their hearts, to seek first the Kingdom of God, and to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all Jesus has commanded us.

  • MN Adult and Teen Challenge

    MNTC’s mission is to assist teens and adults in gaining freedom from chemical addictions and other life controlling problems by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

  • SOURCE Ministries

    Through urban outreach and anti-trafficking efforts, SOURCE empowers the at-risk and unreached to make a break from the past and build foundations for the future.

  • Together for Good

    Together for Good creates pathways for the local church to come alongside vulnerable children and families in Christ-centered ministry.

  • Urban Ventures

    Urban Ventures works in one of Minneapolis' most under-resourced neighborhoods to address opportunity gaps in academics, nutrition, physical activity, parenting resources, and more—all with the overarching goal to prepare and send every youth in our neighborhood to college or post-secondary education.
