We are a welcoming Christian community, united in our desire to work with all people to restore all of creation to God’s loving embrace.
Galatians 3:28, The Message
In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ.
McMinnville Cooperative Ministries is a union, a marriage of two hearts with a unique and beautiful vision of worship.
McMinnville United Methodist Church and Trinity Lutheran Church of McMinnville came together to form their vision of a new and welcoming community of people. A place for those who felt displaced, wronged or un-included in religious groups before. Those seeking a community of loving people who work to help those around them. The Coop is a spiritual community, seeking to make the world better one day, one person at a time.
We want you to join us…
Whether you are gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual or questioning,
Whether you are Methodist, Lutheran or neither,
Whether you are Latino, Asian, Black, White, Native American, or multiracial,
Whether you drive, walk, ride a bike, are driven here or if we are called to go to you,
Whether you are single, married, divorced, separated, widowed or partnered,

Whatever your strengths or weaknesses, gifts or challenges they will be honored.
