WORSHIPPING
IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING
What if "church" were a verb instead of a noun?
What if church was not a location to come to and stay within, but a base of operation for expressing your faith by moving out into communities and around the globe to become part of God's plan for world transformation?
If you found such a "place," would you come?
You are invited to explore the Advent UMC website to see for yourself how the people of Advent are rethinking and renewing what the church is and should be in the 21st century.
We are an active and engaged faith community. We hope you will find a doorway at Advent that you will be comfortable walking through in order to connect with God, with the world around you, and with a community of people that will love and care for you and help you along the journey of your life.

GROWING
Our Purpose Statement
To cooperate with the Holy Spirit,
by inviting all people into relationship with Jesus Christ
through engaging worship, service and spiritual growth.
What if "church" was thought of not as a building, but as thousands of doors, each of them opening to a different concept or experience of church, so that whoever knocks might find a journey to call their own?

Advent is proud of the many ways singers and instrumentalist use their musical gifts to provide a rich, uplifting spiritual presence in weekly worship and at special church and community events throughout the year. Here are some of the ways YOU are invited to share the joy of music at Advent:

The choir also sings at special services on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Christmas Eve. An annual Holiday Concert in collaboration with the Inver Hills Community Band has become a highlight of the holiday season for many. This is a great ensemble for all vocal skill levels and the schedule is very accessible for those with hectic lifestyles. New choir members are always welcome!
