Types of churches in Ham Lake

Family-Friendly Churches in Ham Lake

These congregations lean into kids’ ministry—nursery through middle school—plus VBS and Awana-style programs that track with the Anoka-Hennepin school calendar. Many sit along the Highway 65 corridor for easy weekend access around youth sports, with family events at Ham Lake Park and community-focused holiday gatherings.

Ham Lake Non-Denominational Churches

Modern worship, practical teaching, and small groups are common here, with services often held in contemporary buildings or flexible spaces near Crosstown and Constance Boulevards. They draw commuters from Blaine, Andover, and East Bethel, and frequently serve the community through food drives and school partnerships.

Traditional Lutheran & Catholic

These churches offer liturgical services, choral music, and a steady rhythm of sacraments and confirmation classes, reflecting the area’s long-standing Upper Midwest roots. Many serve multi-generational families living near older farm roads and pine lots around the lake, with seasonal events like fish fries and candlelight services.

Bible-Teaching Baptist & Reformed

Expect expository preaching, adult Sunday school, and midweek Bible studies that emphasize personal discipleship and missions. Congregations often gather in simple sanctuaries north of Bunker Lake Boulevard and along rural stretches toward East Bethel, appealing to households on acreage and commuters seeking a doctrinally conservative setting.

Sermon clips from Ham Lake churches

39s
“In the pain we can't see anything else. We can't think of anything else but here's what the hope of God says. The hope of God says, don't just look at your pain. Childbirth is painful, but after the pain comes a child. And the glory of that child far outweighs the pain of birth. Look again at what Paul says. I consider that our present sufferings. You might wanna personalize this. I I consider that my personal sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.”

“I've talked to people who are dying or suffering. And here's what I often hear them say. They'll say pain unlocks a sweeter intimacy with Jesus. That is it's not that they're experiencing joy in spite of suffering, it's that the fullness of joy, the purity of joy comes through our suffering. It's easy for us to say, well I put my hope in God plus my plan for my life. And then when our plan doesn't go the way we want, we're like woah woah I gotta walk away from God. But our hope is not in God plus our plan. Our hope is in God.”

“What do we do when we're tempted? What do we do when we face problems? Oftentimes our temptation is quit. You got a problem at work? Quit. Problems at school? Transfer. Problems in the marriage? Divorce. One author calls these quitting points and we all face them. Every marriage faces a quitting point. If you're looking at your marriage today and you're like, I just I'm just so I don't think we can do this. I'm we're facing quitting. Just know. That is normal. Almost every marriage faces a quitting point. Almost every student faces a quitting point. But what kind of person would we be if we quit every time we felt like it?”

“In fact, it's oftentimes it's not the smartest or the most talented person that rises to the top, it's the person who finishes. It's the person who endures. Martin Luther once said this, he said there's three things that you need to grow in your faith. Prayer, scripture, and trials. I read that for the first time. Was like, what? Like prayer? Yeah. Of course. The bible? Of course. But trials? I mean, that that seems kind of odd that that would make the top three things of that we need to grow in our faith.”

#HealingIsAProcess
“But we will get emails from people two, three years later, and they'll say things like this. You know, I wasn't healed immediately and directly on that day, But when you prayed, I could feel something break in me. A chain got broken, and that was the beginning. And three years later, they find healing. There will be people who will email us afterwards, and they will say, you know what? I wasn't healed. I prayed and that prayer wasn't answered in the way that I hoped that it would. But I walked out of church that day with such a sense of peace.”

#PeaceDespiteUnansweredPrayers
“I couldn't even explain it, but I just had a peace that even if God doesn't answer my prayer, I love him. I trust him, and I know he has good plans for my life. I walked out of church that day with faith. I walked out of church believing that God is faithful and God will be good, and I can trust him no matter what.”
60s
“"Making the best use of time can make an eternal difference in the life of another person. So let's make the best use of time this week and in the year to come."”
25s
“"The Institute of Family Studies reports that 78% of couples who regularly attend church report that they are either very happy or extremely happy in their marriage. You add what we're talking about today, devoting yourself to the apostles' teaching, to digging into the word of God, to prayer together as a couple, to gathering regularly, to breaking bread with other believers. You now are what we call a couple on mission."”
17s
“"Many of you are here wanting a closer walk with Jesus. And I'm just telling you, a real here and there or the shortcuts that we sometimes get online. No, it's devoting ourselves to the apostles teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread together and to prayer."”
14s
“"Gathering with your church family on the weekend is a decision you make during the week. It's leaving a little margin. And we know that anything we want to get serious about is going to take some time."”
