Types of churches in Woodbury

Non-Denominational Woodbury Churches

Independent, Bible-centered congregations with relaxed atmospheres are common along the Radio Drive and Tamarack Village corridors. Many offer multi-site or auditorium-style worship, robust small groups in neighborhoods like Stonemill Farms and Bailey’s Arbor, and tech-forward options for commuters on I-94 and I-494.

Family Friendly Churches in Woodbury

These churches emphasize kids’ and youth ministries, with secure check-in, age-specific classes, and childcare that fit the rhythms of young families in Dancing Waters, Eagle Valley, and Wedgewood. Service times often work around weekend tournaments at the M Health Fairview Sports Center and school calendars in ISD 833.

Liturgical & Traditional

Congregations with formal liturgy, hymnody, and sacramental life draw multi-generational attendees near Valley Creek Road and around Colby and Powers lakes. Expect choirs, seasonal observances, and reverent spaces that provide a steady anchor amid Woodbury’s fast-growing suburban pace.

Multicultural & Bilingual Churches

Reflecting the east metro’s growing diversity, these congregations offer bilingual worship—often Spanish-English or Korean-English—and intercultural ministries. They frequently host ESL classes, cultural festivals, and community outreach that connect immigrant families from nearby Oakdale and Cottage Grove with established Woodbury neighborhoods.

#CultureOverEverything
“Don't miss this. Because if you do everything right in a bad culture, it still doesn't work. If I drop a seed on this stage, you could come back next year to the River Valley Conference and it'll still be here as a seed. Why? It wasn't the seed's fault. It wasn't even how I put it down. It wasn't even what I it was where I planted it that made it not work. This is not a conducive culture for a seed to germinate and to grow. And so culture's important. I can't I I do two sessions on culture because, honestly, I think you can do the wrong thing in a good culture and have more success.”

“Come now. Let's settle this, says the Lord. Let's settle the score. Let me tell you how things are made right. Let's settle up. Though your sins are like scarlet scarlet, I will make them white as snow. Who will? He will. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them white as wool. see at the cross, Jesus settled the cost. Jesus made the payment. Your sins are forgiven. Made white as snow, white as wool, clean, picture you need to have in your mind right now. That is what he has done for you, and he has done it for you. Remember, your master cares for you.”

#UnifiedMissionMessage
“So they'll say things like, well, we wanna reach our city. And the next person says, man, we wanna help the poor. And the next person says, man, we want the presence of God. All those are good things, they're just not the same things. And the more you can clarify why we exist, The more you and not only clarify it, but add language to it that everyone can answer. So if you would come to Highlands, our church, one of the things that people say they notice first is that whether they talk to a staff member, volunteer, or member of the church, and you ask him, what is this church all about? They all not only say the same thing, but they say it in the same language.”

#PassionForTheLost
“it is God's will for my church to grow. It is. I'm just telling you. Go read Luke 15. Jesus gave three parables that said, I care about the lost. In fact, I am distracted by that which is lost. I will leave all the found things that I have to go look for those lost things. He is passionate about lost things, and you are too, by the way. If you ever lose something of value to you, you don't count what you have. When you're when you can't find your cell phone, you don't go, well, there's my couch. You don't do that.”
29s
#MobilizedChurch
“and then get the church mobilized. People say the local church is the hope of the world. No, it's not. The local church that is mobilized is the hope of the world. Until we get everybody discipled and actually doing something that God has called them to do, that's when we win. We have to have a body that is functioning, connected, and getting the work done in Jesus' name. This is the assignment. So, it was back in 2011 that we we tried several different ways to communicate this to people with moderate success.”
41s
“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows. Do you see the two sides of repentance there? There's the one turning away from our our sins. Wash yourselves. Get get away from it. Run away from it, but then also turn towards something better, and that's the ways of God. Around here we say, we're becoming more and more like who? Jesus. And so there's this this beautiful picture of what this life of having Jesus as our master looks like. And the first part of it is to to repent and then learn to do good.”
50s
“He cares for you. And because he cares for you, that then changes the way we live our lives. you will only obey me, you will have plenty to eat. Or as Jesus would say, but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Remember who your master is. Remember that he cares for you. Stop trying to impress him. He's already settled the cost. He's already made the payment, and now he invites you to kneel before him as lord and savior.”
37s
“Even an ox knows its owner and a donkey recognizes its master's care. Can can you catch that? Like, oh my god. An ox and a donkey get it, but so often we miss it. But Israel doesn't know its master. My people don't recognize my care for them. That's so hard, isn't it? When you're trying to care for somebody and you're doing everything you can for them, and they want nothing to do with it. And you just keep getting rejected over and over and over again. That that's how God feels about his people. What a sinful nation they are, loaded down with a burden of guilt.”
35s
“"Give those relationships time. Keep sowing seeds. Be there. Be someone who is building the relationship, who's listening, who's understanding, and those opportunities are going to arise to testify to what you believe about Jesus, to the transformation that he's brought in your own life, right? That's what Paul was going around doing, not convincing people what to believe. He was saying, look at what God's done in me and look at what he wants to do in you as well. That's the invitation we're given."”
44s
“"Three things that are going to be a foundation for sharing Jesus with others. Relationships, conversation, and time. Let's start with relationships. You need a foundational relationship with someone in order to share Jesus with them. Evangelism without relationship is recruitment. And nobody wants to feel like a number just being recruited to your organization, right? You know how you feel when you got like a salesperson, right? Coming up to you. You're like skeptical and all that. Sometimes that's how people, if you follow the words of Jesus, right? Because they don't care about the relationship. We need relationship."”
