History
Our Father’s Chapel, The Word of God Monastery, nestled in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota, represents a unique and enduring spiritual beacon rooted in tradition and dedicated to Orthodox Christian faith.
The monastery’s story begins in the late 1970s when a small group of devoted parishioners, primarily from the Antiochian Orthodox Church, sought to establish a permanent home for worship and monastic life within the Twin Cities.
Recognizing a need for a community grounded in the rich liturgical practices and theological teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church, they began to explore potential locations.
The monastery’s location at 3333 Carter Avenue South was secured in 1980, a quiet residential area that provided a contemplative setting for prayer and reflection.
Initially, the community consisted of a handful of brothers and sisters committed to a life of prayer, study, and service.
The early years were marked by a period of establishing the core monastic routines, including canonical hours, liturgical services, and communal meals.
Over time, the community grew steadily, attracting individuals drawn to the monastery’s authentic Orthodox spirituality.
The chapel itself, constructed with loving detail, became the focal point of the monastery’s life.
The Word of God Monastery quickly gained a reputation for welcoming newcomers and offering a place of refuge for those seeking solace and spiritual guidance.
Throughout its history, the monastery has remained steadfast in its commitment to the Orthodox faith, upholding the traditions of the Church while adapting to the changing needs of its community.
It has emphasized the importance of liturgical worship, theological study, and pastoral care.
The monastery has also been involved in charitable works within the local community, reflecting its dedication to serving others.
The Word of God Monastery continues to thrive as a vibrant and welcoming spiritual center, offering a haven for those seeking a deeper connection with God and the Orthodox Christian tradition.
