+ Where do I park?

The University of Minnesota has a large parking lot adjacent to the north side of our building (left side of the building as you are facing the front) that you can park in on Sunday mornings. It is called Lot 58. Access to this lot is from 18th Ave SE.

If the gate is down, get a ticket (push button on touch screen). As you enter the Sojourn building, take a voucher from our table in the Lobby. When you're leaving the parking lot, put your ticket in the slot, and then scan the voucher barcode in the glass window to the right of the ticket slot when it asks for payment.

Free street parking is also available on the north side of University Ave between 15th street and 19th street SE.

+ Are face coverings required?

Masks are no longer required due to rescinding of mask mandates by our MN Governor and Minneapolis Mayor. However, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, we respect and honor your choice to do so.

+ What does the time of singing worship look like? How can I participate in this?

We have a worship team that leads us in song. We encourage people to worship God in a way that they are comfortable with, whether that be expressive, with hands raised, or quiet, with heads bowed. Some people will be more expressive than others, but we encourage each person to be honest and authentic in their worship of the Lord.

+ How do I participate in the time of prayers and sharing?

If God puts a bible verse on your heart that you think would be edifying for the whole church, you are free to come up to the microphone during our sharing time and share it briefly. If you are unsure of whether it is appropriate, you can ask the Pastor who is leading that time about it.

+ If I have a prayer need, can I be prayed for during the service?

We offer prayer for people at the close of each service. Just come up to the front during that time, and share your need with one of the prayer people who are up front.

+ What can I do if I have a crying child or nursing baby?

We have a “Cry room / Nursing room” at the back of the sanctuary for nursing mom’s or parents with crying children. You can also take them downstairs into our nursery and be with them until they settle down.

+ Do I have to register to attend church in-person?

No. Per new MN rules, we can accommodate significantly more people in our worship center, so there will be no need to register. We have plenty of room. We will, however, be checking in people that attend, just in case we need to get in touch with them at a later date.

+ What about those at higher risk or caring for those more vulnerable?

If you are in a higher risk group (65 yrs or older, underlying health conditions), caring for higher-risk people, exposed to Covid-19 positive patients, or experiencing any symptoms of sickness, we ask you to stay safe at home and join us for Online Worship Service. See our detailed guidelines for more specifics on symptoms to check before coming.

+ Are you offering programing for kids?
