BROOKWOOD COMMUNITY CHURCH (SHAKOPEE, MN)
www.brookwood.net
Brookwood Community Church started in 2008 as a plant of Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Wooddale Church called Rob O’Neal to join the pastoral staff in September 2007 to start its ninth daughter church. Following months of study, nearby Shakopee was chosen as the location for the new congregation.
In February 2008, Wooddale members and attendees began joining Brookwood’s core group and spent the spring and summer planning, learning and recruiting. After extensive publicity and two preview services, Brookwood launched on Sunday, October 5, 2008 with two worship services, a fully functioning children’s ministry and 298 people in attendance.
Brookwood’s strategy for helping people become extraordinary followers of Jesus emphasizes three simple activities: worshipping, connecting in small groups and sharing the Good News about Jesus with the community and world. Brookwood Community Church currently meets in the auditorium of the Shakopee Junior High School for worship and in homes for small groups.
