PURPOSE: God revealed Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ, to give us hope and assurance of eternal salvation through faith in His sacrifice on the cross (John 3:16), to invite us to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23), to love one another as He loved us (John 13:34-35), and to go into all the world to share His Good News (Matthew 28:19-20).
MISSION : The mission of the Minnetonka Seventh-day Adventist church is to passionately KNOW God as our personal friend and intentionally SHARE God as caring disciples.
VISION: Our response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ compels us to become a growing Adventist congregation. We will impact our community through God-directed worship, selfless service, and a culture of active participation by every member.
