Who is Clarity Church?
Clarity began with a public gathering in September 2013 and is part of Converge North Central. We’re a friendly church family: people who have followed Jesus for years and many who are simply exploring faith. The tagline on the front page of our website says it: “Being and making disciples. Come as you are.”
On Sundays we meet in a school gym. No fog machines, no lasers, no big production. Just open Bibles and people who value real conversations. If you’re carrying church hurt, you’re especially welcome; we won’t rush your story or pressure you to pretend you’re fine. Read more about Clarity Church and our statements of faith.
Where does Clarity meet, and how do I get there from Maple Grove?
We meet at Edinbrook Elementary, 8925 Zane Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445. Brooklyn Park borders Maple Grove, so it’s a short drive for most Maple Grove families; the map on our Plan Your Visit page shows the route from your address.
- Parking: park in the front lot off Zane Ave, on the east side of the building.
- Door: come in the front door and look for the flags. A greeter will be waiting to welcome you.
- Accessibility: Edinbrook Elementary is wheelchair accessible.

What is a Sunday at Clarity like?
Simple and casual. Here’s how the morning goes:
- 9:45: the cafe opens, so there’s time for a coffee and a hello. Kids check-in opens at the same time.
- 10:00: we sing together, usually three songs, a mix of current worship music and updated hymns.
- After the songs: the message, about 30–35 minutes, rooted in Scripture and made practical for everyday life.
- 1st and 3rd Sundays: communion, with a gluten-free option.
- Around 11:15: we wrap up. Stick around to meet the pastor, or pick up your kids and head home.

What is there for kids?
Clarity Kids has classes from birth through 5th grade during the service: Nursery & Preschool for birth to 4 years, and Elementary for age 5 through 5th grade, where kids hear a Bible message and do a related activity. Elementary kids also join the worship portion of the main gathering.
Every volunteer passes a background check. At check-in your child gets a name tag and you keep the matching security tag to pick them up. You’re also welcome to keep your kids with you in the service; plenty of our families do. Middle and high school students connect through FCA at Osseo High School. See Kids and Student Ministries for the details.
Groups during the week
Sundays are a great start, but friendships grow in smaller settings. Our Church Groups page lists all of them:
- Small groups: two in Brooklyn Park. One meets near the Brooklyn Park and Champlin border on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, 5–7pm; the other meets near Woodland Elementary on the 1st and 3rd Mondays, 5:30–7:30pm.
- Men’s Breakfast Club: Saturdays at 8am at Perkins in Osseo/Brooklyn Park, by Fleet Farm, for encouragement, fellowship and talking about faith and life.
- Women’s Ministry: seasonal Bible studies and events through the year, including a fall retreat.
- MOPS: moms of preschoolers meet on the last Friday of the month, 9:30 to noon, somewhere different each time.
Christmas Eve 2026
Our Christmas Eve service is Thursday, December 24, 2026, from 3 to 4pm at RiverLife Church, 9000 101st Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445. That’s a different building from our usual Sundays at Edinbrook Elementary, so check the address before you leave. Doors open at 2:30.
It’s one hour, free and open to the public: Christmas hymns you can sing along to, Scripture, a kids’ story time, a candlelit Silent Night, free hot chocolate and cookies, and a photo booth. See the Christmas Eve service page to plan your visit.
Come as you are
Whether you grew up in church, walked away from one or have never been inside one, you’re welcome here. Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), and the Bible tells Christians to “welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you” (Romans 15:7). That’s what we aim for on Sunday mornings.
When you plan your visit, we’ll save you a parking spot up front, have a greeter at the door, help check in your kids, get you a coffee and introduce you to the pastor. We’ll even donate to Every Meal in your honor. Rather meet someone first? Get coffee with one of our leaders before Sunday.

Yes. During the service, Clarity Kids has classes from birth through 5th grade, and check-in opens at 9:45. The first time, we ask for emergency contact info and any allergies, which we print on your child’s name tag. Because of allergies, no outside food or drinks come into the classrooms except a labeled water bottle. If you plan your visit, you can pre-register your kids to make check-in quicker.

The service runs about an hour and fifteen minutes, and we usually wrap up around 11:15.
