What are the age ranges for children’s ministry?
Programming is available for infants through preschool at 10 a.m., and programming for children grades K-5 is available at 9:15 a.m. The Rapids, Brookwood’s Children’s Minsitry, helps children become extraordinary followers of Jesus by helping them worship God, connect with each other, and share the good things God has done in their lives with others.
Does Brookwood have a Student Ministries Program?
Brookwood has a small group for students in grades 6-12. This small group meets on Sundays at 9:15 and offers Bible study and prayer, building relationships between the students, and helping students share the good things God is doing in their lives all with the goal of helping them become extraordinary followers of Jesus.
How do I join a Bible study?
Brookwood offers small group Bible studies for adults. Small Groups are places where people connect with each other, pray, and study the Bible together. These communities of up to twelve people form the foundation of how Brookwood Community Church helps people to become extraordinary followers of Jesus.
The small groups that are available for winter and spring 2009 are focused on building connections and are flexibly organized around the schedule and interests of those involved. We believe that small groups must be tailored to the learning style and spiritual goals of those involved. For more information, contact Brookwood’s offices at 952.233.8946.
Do you offer support groups?
Support group ministries will begin as needs arise. For more information, contact the Brookwood office at 952.233.8946.
I would like prayer. Who could I talk and pray with?
There are three easy ways to request prayer at Brookwood. You can turn in prayer requests weekly on the back of the “I Matter” cards or pray with one of the leaders after any service. Someone at Connection Point can help you find the right person. You can also click on the resources link on our home page and email in a prayer request.
How can I volunteer?

What is the denomination of the Church?
Brookwood is truly a community church, open to people of every background. We partner with the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference, a denomination committed to starting new churches that help people become extraordinary followers of Jesus and helping existing churches do the same. The CCCC is rooted in the faith of the Pilgrims who were early settlers of the United States.
