Wooddale Church

All Things New
2027-01-13 - 2027-03-03 | Eden Prairie Campus, 6630 Shady Oak Rd, Eden Prairie, MN, 55344
The ancient city of Corinth was much like our own modern-day cities: a melting pot of electrifying cultural experiences, along with the myriad pitfalls of spiritual depravity. Still, Paul wrote to the church of God in Corinth, meaning God’s church is meant to thrive in any city and every circumstance in which we find ourselves. Paul’s letter is as timely as ever.
Over eight sessions, Kelly Minter will lead you through 2 Corinthians, exploring the anchoring truths of bearing treasures in jars of clay, meeting Christ through a pressing thorn, opening your heart wide in the midst of hurtful relationships and embracing the lost and lonely as ministers of the new covenant. Each of us has a message to proclaim and live by: Because of Jesus the old has gone, the new has come.
Wednesdays | 9:30–11:30 a.m. | Chapel

Parent-Child Dedication Class
2027-01-17 08:30 - 09:30 | All Campus Locations
When you dedicate your child to the Lord, you are giving thanks to God and committing to faithfully raise your child in a godly home. But it’s more than that. The church is also making a commitment to cherish and pray for your child — and for you as parents — and partner with you in your child’s faith development. Dedicating your child to the Lord is an act of faith and a special moment of encouragement for parents and the congregation.
Wooddale Church offers dedications for infants and young children in our worship services on a quarterly basis. To dedicate your child, you must first participate in the Parent-Child Dedication Class.
Eden Prairie registration: Room 147 at 8:30 a.m.

Baptism Celebration
2027-01-31 | All Campus Locations
Baptism is an essential part of a Christian’s identification with Jesus Christ. Throughout the book of Acts, wherever baptism occurred, it always followed a profession of belief in Jesus. It demonstrates our love and obedience to Jesus and is an outward sign of an inward commitment to follow him.
Baptism is also a vivid picture of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and a believer’s similar spiritual path. The believer’s old self has been crucified with Christ and buried before coming out of the water raised in the “newness of life.”Baptism displays the beginning of the Christian life, which is why at Wooddale Church, baptism is a celebration.
We baptize regularly and encourage every believer to be obedient to Christ’s command in the Bible to be baptized.
Whether you are new to the Christian faith and have not yet been baptized or have been a believer for months or years but have never been baptized after your commitment to Christ, we encourage you to complete the process of baptism.
Baptisms take place during Sunday morning services on this date. Registration to be baptized is due 2 weeks before a baptism celebration.

Who is Jesus, really? Was He simply a great teacher, a historical figure or something more? And if His story is true, what does it mean for your life today?
Discover: Jesus is a four-week class for anyone who wants to explore these questions. Together, we’ll explore who Jesus claimed to be, what His life, death and resurrection mean, and why His message is just as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago.
Whether you’re curious about Christianity, returning after time away or simply searching for answers, you’ll find a relaxed environment where questions are encouraged and honest conversations are welcomed. You don’t need any prior Bible knowledge or church experience.
Come discover why Jesus continues to transform lives and why His story might become part of yours.
