You've seen the website, now come see Mayflower
Mayflower Church is a member of The United Church of Christ (UCC), a small, progressive, Christian denomination. We are a church of inquiring minds: we welcome the opportunity to discuss, disagree, learn from each other, and develop our faith in community. We are also a non-creedal church, which means you don’t have to believe one particular thing to be a part of our congregation.
We do, however, hold many faith beliefs in common at Mayflower:
We believe that God loves all of us equally, and invites us to worship and grow together. Our congregation includes people who are young and old, gay/lesbian and straight, differently abled and temporarily able bodied, single, married and divorced, people who have children, and people who do not. We work to be a place where we are respectful and affirming of the diversity of culture, race, and thought that God has created among us.
We believe in grace. Each of us has places in our lives where we have not been the people God has called us to be. We affirm that we are always welcome as we are, and invited to become all that we might be.
We believe that when we gather for Holy Communion, it is God who invites us to share the meal. Therefore we practice open communion, which means that everyone is invited, regardless of church affiliation, age, or particular tests of faith.
We believe that God is still speaking to and through us today. We look for God’s calling to us, as we face the important issues of the day, and we trust that God sends us forth from our worship to work for a more peaceful and just world.
We believe in community. We have been part of this community for over 75 years.
We offer: 
Outstanding adult, youth and children’s choirs
A wonderful Sunday School program with an emphasis on respecting diversity
A Boy Scout Troop that has been chartered by Mayflower for 75 years! Mayflower’s Boy
Scout Troop and Cub Scout Pack welcomes all boys, regardless of sexual orientation.
An active youth group, which takes annual work trips
Many volunteer and outreach opportunities for adults and children.
Coffee and goodies, just about every Sunday
Child-care during Education Hour and 11:00 worship
It's easy to find us just west of the intersection of 35W and Diamond Lake Road in Minneapolis.
Just inside the doors you'll see our visitor's kiosk where you can grab a map and a worship schedule.
If you have questions, just ask anyone, or you can walk around and check us out on your own.
