Welcome to Hamline Church
We are an intimate new Christian community, witnessing to the larger dimensions of life in Christ, in ministry on the inward and outward journey. Hamline Church is a lively congregation of 400 families, ranging in age from newborn to the 90’s. We value and cherish the diversity of men, women, gays, straights, children, and elders who make up our community. We gather each Sunday morning to pray, sing, and to be inspired and renewed for another week. We also come together on Sundays and at other times to learn, and grow together We invite you to join us – come to worship, serve a meal at a homeless shelter, attend a class, offer your musical gifts. Know that we were all new once in the church, and at Christ’s table, we are all his guest.
