Who we are

Hiawatha Church is a community of ordinary people who believe in the gospel (or good news) of Jesus Christ.

We got our start in 2006 when a group of 30 people were sent out from Hope Community Church to start a new church in South Minneapolis.

We chose the name “Hiawatha” because of its deep ties to Minneapolis culture, and also because it’s an Ojibwe word meaning river maker, which served as a redemptive dream for us, that God would cause rivers of life to flow through the dry bed of our city, and that our church would be a haven of grace for the weary, and for all to find rest in the message that life is found in Jesus and not in ourselves.

Wherever you are with God, Christian or not — whatever your spiritual background, whatever questions you’re asking — please join us for a Sunday service, or let us know if you’d like to get coffee with a pastor or ministry leader. We’d love to meet you!

Our services are Sundays at 9am and 11am.

We meet at 4155 41st Avenue South in Minneapolis.
