What is theAlley?

We are a new mission church in the east metro area of the Twin Cities.

The name of our church comes from Luke 14:21, “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.”  Our name is synonymous with the call given to all followers of Jesus.  That is to go into the streets, alleys and lives of people in our world and share with them the eternally significant message of redemption through Jesus alone.  Central to our philosophy is that anyone without Christ is broken.  Whether aware of it or not, the richest man is poor without Jesus, and everyone’s greatest need is forgiveness of sin and reconciliation with God.  That is the message that we carry and the passion that drives us.
