Community Partnerships
The church is not limited to a building and it is our passion to be the love of Jesus in our local community, making followers of Jesus wherever we go. We cannot do this on our own and so we intentionally love to partner with other organizations.
Below you will find the list of these partnerships, along with a short description and direct link to their websites, as available.
If you would like to volunteer, please send us an email at partnerships@autumnridgechurch.org and let us know how you prefer to be contacted. We will do our very best to connect with you within one business day!

A.C.T.S. 4 Kids partners with programs from the Rochester Public Schools and the Olmsted County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (OCHRA) to providefor basic needs and stable housing for families and students that are under-resourced or in transition (homeless) in the school district.
Other programs include A.C.T.S. Adopted Schools, Food 4 Friends, and Shop 4 Kids.
Fort Wilderness
Thousands of men, women, kids, teens, young adults and their families come each year from all around the midwest to experience Fort Wilderness. Since 1956 many have come to know Fort as their second home. Our unique Northwoods environment is perfect for disconnecting from the busy-ness of life and connecting with people and God.
Jeremiah Program
Jeremiah’s proven, holistic approach begins with establishing a supportive community for determined single mothers to pursue a career-track, college education. Through a combination of quality early childhood education, a safe and affordable place to live, and empowerment and life skills training, families find stability and a path out of poverty.
The Landing
Our operations start at the ground level; our team walks the streets and skyways, seeking out those in need. They work to fulfill needs on an individual basis, assessing each situation upon intake. Since our founding, our organization has coordinated efforts with multiple agencies to provide for the needs of our friends facing homelessness, including housing and healthcare, among other things.
MN Adult and Teen Challenge
Since 1983, Mn Adult & Teen Challenge has been restoring hope to people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. In addition to our effective and affordable residential Licensed Treatment, faith-based Long-Term Recovery and convenient Outpatient program, we have extensive prevention and transitional/aftercare services.
New Life Family Services
NLFS is one mission with three programs: Pregnancy Centers, which provides free pregnancy testing, counseling, ultrasounds, STD testing, and more; Post-Abortion Recovery, which offers one-on-one mentoring and group sessions designed to deal with the pain and difficulties common to those who have had abortions; and Licensed Adoption Services, which provides full and limited adoption services for both birth parents and adoptive families.
Next Chapter Ministries
Next Chapter has a goal to eradicate crime, executing a strong focus on the highest crime areas of Rochester and Olmsted County. They have two residential houses for men, a non-residential house for women, and a non-residential house for youth, all impacted by the vicious cycle of crime. Each home is designed to address the trauma that our participants have sustained.
Together For Good
Together for Good’s network of trained volunteers provides safe places for children to stay while their parents receive the support and encouragement they need to make it through a tough time.
When an exhausted parent simply needs a break for a night or weekend, our TFG network steps in to provide respite care and ongoing friendship. Because no parent should walk life’s journey alone.
