Announcing our New Home: Bethlehem Lutheran Church - Minneapolis Campus
Last month, we announced that we needed to find new office space by year-end. Our property manager had informed us of our neighbor's expansion, and the alternate spaces in our current location were not ideal. This news presented an opportunity to find a new home that better aligned with our mission, vision, and values.
After many internal discussions, several tours, and much prayer, we are thrilled to announce that our new home is Bethlehem Lutheran Church in southwest Minneapolis.
If you didn't already know, we have a deep, shared history with Bethlehem, and this move feels like a homecoming in many ways. Gordon Olson, LPGM's co-founder was the choir director at Bethlehem during LPGM's inception, and choir members became early supporters of this ministry.
"This is a full-circle moment," says LPGM executive director Dan Ruth, "as Bethlehem was the first home to LPGM when we began 30+ years ago."
Today, many Bethlehem members continue to be LPGM sponsors and supporters, and we are looking forward to deepening our partnership through this shared space.
Our offices will be on the second floor in rooms formerly used for Sunday school.
Packing is underway, with the movers coming Monday, December 15, to move our furniture. Our current mailing address will be used until the end of 2025, with USPS mail forwarding for several months.
Our new mailing address as of January 1, 2026, will be: 4100 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis MN 55409. Our physical office will officially open Monday, January 5, 2026.
Thank you for your patience during this time of transition! We look forward to settling into our new home.
FAQ
Does this mean that you're part of Bethlehem Lutheran Church now?
No. While we are grateful to share space and history with Bethlehem, LPGM continues to operate as an independent pan-Lutheran 501(c)3. We are renting space from Bethlehem, and we are grateful to the Bethlehem community for their hospitality, warm welcome, and support for our ministry.
How can I find your offices?
The best way to reach our offices is to park in the main lot (on the south side of the building) and to enter through the front door. Once you enter the door, you'll be in the main lobby, and you'll see stairs to your right. Go up the stairs to the second floor and turn right. We are officing in rooms 212-220. There is also an elevator on the first floor, and you're welcome to take it to the second floor to find us.
What are your office hours?
We are generally in the office Monday-Friday from 9:00 am-5:00 pm. You're welcome to call our office at 612.823.5058 if you'd like to ensure we're in the office and available before stopping by.
Will you have an open house?
Yes! We will have two open houses - one for Bethlehem Lutheran Church members after Sunday worship and one for LPGM supporters. The open houses will likely take place in mid-March 2026. More information to come.
Can I visit your office before the open house?
Absolutely. We'd love to visit with you. Feel free to stop by anytime during our office hours. As mentioned, you are welcome to call in advance to check in before coming by if you'd prefer.
