Community Meals


Interested in joining friends and neighbors for a free meal each month? Join us!

Gustavus Adolphus welcomes all to a free, monthly community meal the fourth Saturday of each month at 6:00 p.m.

Our doors are open to all seeking community, fellowship, and a nutritious meal to be enjoyed with neighbors and friends in Northeast Minneapolis. Remember, all are welcome at Church for community meals and always. We know that the world is often an unloving place and that the experience of alienation is all too common. Following the example of Christ, we welcome all persons of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, physical and mental abilities, educational levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

If you’re looking for more information about the meal, look for our reminders in the Northeaster and Downtown Journal, or check with your local church or shelter.

The GA Mission
At GA Church, our mission is to build a welcoming community where God is at the center. That means we are called reflect God’s grace and unconditional love in all we do, including nurturing community by bringing together friends and neighbors we know and those we have yet to get to know. Our community meal a response to Jesus’s call to service found in Matthew 25:
“Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.”

We look forward to seeing you at our next community meal!
