Faith Lutheran Church

What Faith Lutheran Church does

Faith Lutheran Church is a non-profit religious organization founded in 1955 and headquartered at 11115 Hanson Blvd NW in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. It operates as a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Minneapolis Area Synod, serving local families, adults, seniors, youth, and community members in need through worship services, faith formation programs, and social outreach. The church runs two primary Sunday worship services — Traditional at 9:00 a.m. and Contemporary at 11:00 a.m. — alongside a portfolio of approximately 30 ministry programs spanning early childhood education, youth confirmation, adult Bible study, music, grief and cancer support, and recreational activities such as pickleball and a book club.

The church's core technology footprint is modest and consumer-facing: a website hosted on the FaithConnector Church Websites platform, electronic newsletters (eNews), PushPay for digital giving, YouTube for live-streamed worship, and a CCB Church Community Builder login for congregation members. It generates revenue exclusively through voluntary contributions, including tithes, offerings, annual estimates of giving, a three-year capital appeal (2024-2027), and an endowment fund. A flagship outreach initiative, The Harbor Food Shelf, operates a monthly drive-thru distribution and select food-shopping days, supplied through a partnership with Second Harvest Heartland.

The organization is institutionally maturing: it has expanded its Caring + Support ministries, scaled digital giving, and extended its community impact through programs such as Family Promise, Bikes4Kids, Thanksgiving Dinner, and Meals on Wheels. No revenue or membership figures are publicly disclosed, and the church operates without venture capital, private equity, or external investor ownership, relying on congregational stewardship and denominational affiliation for sustainability.
