Welcome to Mount Calvary
We're so glad you're here. Whether you're new to faith, new to the area, or just looking for a community to call home, you belong here.
Mount Calvary is an ELCA Lutheran church in Eagan, MN, and a Reconciling in Christ congregation. That means everyone is welcome here, no exceptions. Whether you're in the pew, on the lawn, or watching from your couch, we'd love to worship and be in community with you.

Whatever's comfortable. You'll see everything from jeans to dress clothes on a Sunday morning ā wear what feels like you.
-
Not at all. You don't need any church background, and you don't need to have everything figured out. We have a mix of people here with a range of stories who have found home at Mount Calvary. Questions about Lutheranism and Jesus and all of the things are greatly encouraged. Come as you are.

Yes. No questions asked. Wafers and wine or grape juice are available. Gluten-free wafers are available, simply ask the communion assistants when you get up to front of the line.

Absolutely. Families are so welcome here. Kids are welcome to stay with you in the service the whole time or are invited to try out Sunday School. Sunday School for PreKā5th grade runs at 9:15am most Sundays during the program year (September through May).

Yes, we have committed our church as a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation through ReconcilingWorks.

Learn about our RIC journey here.
