As part of the Christian Church denomination (Disciples of Christ), it emphasizes spirituality, community and justice, "wholeness in a fragmented world." The church has Bible study, prayer groups, a book club, fellowship groups and outreach that includes raising money to purchase two pigs through the international Heiffer Project, plus other programs providing food and money for those in need. The Lake Harriet Christian Child Care Center, serving children 6 weeks old to Kindergarten, is also located in the church building.
