Together With Friends Bible Day Camp

Together With Friends is a multi-denominational day camp that runs through the summer months of June and July from 9am to 12pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our focus is on providing a safe, positive, learning environment for children of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and beliefs. We cycle between the different church’s of Taylors Falls.

Together With Friends started in 1996 with the combined efforts of the Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran and Catholic churches in Taylor's Falls. The idea was give the Taylor's Falls elementary students, and other children of the community a safe place to learn and grow during the summer. As a partnership between the various churches, we focus on what we all agree on, the forgiveness and love of Jesus Christ.

Come and Join us this year as we explore one of our five reoccurring themes!

Any child entering Grades 2-6 in the fall is eligible to be a Camper! Anyone who is entering grade 7-12 in the fall is welcome to join us on our Jr. Staff team! Anyone 18+ is invited to join our Adult Staff.

The cost for Campers per session is 5 dollars. There is a max price of $50 per family for the summer. (So if you have multiple children, your price does not go above $50) *Note Financial scholarships are available at request. No one will be turned away because of inability to pay.

Campers are always welcome to bring friends!

Hospitality Groups

To better serve our congregation and visitors of the church, hospitality persons have been assigned for each Sunday service. There are two areas which members and non-members are assigned: ushers and greeters, and fellowship support.

Ushers and greeters need to be in church 20 minutes prior to the church service to turn on lights and to welcome those attending church. The first Sunday of each month envelops for the food shelf mission will need to be stuffed into the bulletin, and the third Sunday envelopes are needed for mission offering.

Fellowship support persons have volunteered to provide a treat to be served with coffee (provided by the church).

Compassion Outreach

Through collaboration with others, Compassion Outreach is dedicated to meeting the needs of vulnerable individuals and families in our community.

Basic Tenets of Compassion Outreach:

Recognizing that each person is a child of God, we serve as the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us.

Through the building of relationships with those in need, this outreach seeks to reflect the examples of Christ's early ministry - to see a need, meet a need - by providing access to physical, emotional, and spiritual care.

Compassion Outreach works to provide point-of-contact for individuals and families in crisis.

Compassion Outreach is available for help in the Upper St. Croix River Valley region including Taylors Falls, MN, and St. Croix Falls, WI.

Food Shelf Mission Offering

Our Food Shelf Mission Offering helps fund the local food shelves in Chisago and Polk County. It also helps fund our Little Pantry, our small white box near the church building that has foodstuffs for our community.

Our community members rely on both the Little Pantry and the local foodshelves in order to keep those in need from experiencing hunger.

If you can, consider making a donation to our Food Shelf Mission Offering. Our church members work with the local community to purchase goods to fill the Little Pantry monthly, based off the communities needs. Your monetary donation can help keep this vital mission alive.

If you have extra packaged foodstuffs to donate to the Little Pantry, you can leave goods in the small box near the church. Please do not buy bulk goods for the pantry, as the community needs change from month to month. If you are considering purchasing goods to donate, please consider a monetary donation instead.
