Fabric Minneapolis

Fabric is a church community in South Minneapolis that has gotten really good at innovating what it means to be church. They deal with the real issues of life in relevant and practicable ways that engage people who have given up or are giving up on God or traditional church spaces.

Speaking plainly here: a lot of people are rightly turned off by the noisiest expressions of Christianity that claim to speak on behalf of a "God" that has been twisted and distorted into a judgmental, scary, hateful and vengeful divine old man in the clouds. That just doesn't match our experience of what often gets called God— that force of life, love, and creativity that exists in, through, around, and beyond all that we're able to know and observe.

Through our core values of thinking big, choosing connection, braving uncertainty, sharing warmth, and "whimsifying" (!!) we seek to create a safe space for people of all ages, genders, sexualities, races, and any variety of religious background and experience to contemplate the ways our true selves are intimately and intricately woven with all others, with the whole world, and with the Divine.

For 18 years, we have existed as a community who takes our shared work of creating meaningful and contagious community very seriously, even if we don't always take ourselves too seriously.

We're thrilled to continue as a community in which people young and old alike can discover "church" to be a thoughtful, honest, relevant, and casual experience that values questions & curiosity, connection & relationships, playfulness & mindfulness.

Your support of Fabric means so much; we are financially independent, but also continue to navigate through new realities and changed habits following the COVID pandemic. We are seeking funding toward both sustainability and new growth; we keep hearing from those who have discovered us that we're a "best-kept secret" in the religious landscape of the Twin Cities. Your support will help us become less of a secret for those in need of meaningful community and a safe place to explore what it means to be woven deeply with their true self, with others, and with God.
