Upper Room - A community loving God and others in the rhythm of Jesus

Next Step Environments

Next Step Environments

Next Step Environments are spaces designed for you to participate in to take a next step spiritually and to grow in your love for God and others. So the question is: WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP?

  • Is it a SMALL GROUP ENVIRONMENT where you will gather together with others, build relationships and discuss relevant issues that integrate faith and everyday life?
  • Is it a SEMINAR ENVIRONMENT where you will learn and have conversations about topics that will deepen your experience of God and develop your understanding of our identity and role as God's children in our world?
  • Is it a SERVING ENVIRONMENT where you will follow Jesus' footsteps, spending time with and caring for those who have physical, emotional and spiritual needs?

Additional information on these environments can be found on the Upper Room web site at: http://www.urminneapolis.org/environments/
