Reformed, expository, gospel-centered churches — because Minneapolis needs the Word of God.
Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali diaspora community in the United States, centered in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood — often called 'Little Mogadishu.' Over 100,000 Somali Muslims call the Twin Cities home, making this one of the most significant Muslim mission fields in America. God has brought the nations to Minneapolis.
Bible-preaching churches in Minneapolis face both a challenge and an extraordinary opportunity. The Somali community is often deeply devout, proud of Islamic identity, and understandably cautious toward Christians. But the gospel breaks every barrier. Faithful witness, genuine love, and the power of the Holy Spirit have opened doors in Cedar-Riverside and communities like it around the world.

Minneapolis' Somali Muslim community represents one of the greatest unreached mission fields in America. These are our neighbors — beloved by God, made in His image, and in need of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Local churches are called to learn, to love, and to proclaim the only name under heaven by which people must be saved (Acts 4:12).
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." — Romans 1:16
