First Universalist Church of Minneapolis is powered almost entirely by financial gifts from people like you. There is no denominational structure that supports this church, no large endowment that underwrites our budget. We exist because, for 165 years, people like you have supported this church financially and invested in our existence so that First Universalist could serve the needs of the present, and build bridges toward the future. Be a part of making another year happen by pledging your commitment today.

7. Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Assessment
You can sign up to take this short online assessment that will help us to have a picture of our congregational culture. The aggregated information we get from this will help us to identify the specific work that is ours: to be more radically welcoming, safer, and better accomplices to marginalized folks in our church community and beyond.
Sign up to take the IDI here. Please make sure to come back and hit Submit on this Commitment/Pledge form after you open the IDI form in another window. Thank you!
