What is Freshwaters?

Freshwaters is the the new name for three local United Methodist churches in the Zimmerman and Princeton areas--the Princeton United Methodist Church of Princeton, MN; the Spencer Brook United Methodist Church of Princeton, MN; and the Blessed Cross United Methodist Church of Zimmerman, MN. All three churches are in the "Big Waters District" of the Minnesota Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.

In 2010, these three churches decided to combine to better serve the community and to spread God's word and to make new disciples of Christ through the theme of "Fishing for Life." Freshwaters operates out of all three campuses and provides a variety of services and types of worship that utilize the strengths of each site.

Please look forward to receiving Fresh Updates as we live our mission and share our vision of this exciting fresh start from old friends in your community. In the mean time, we continue with the tradition of United Methodist Churches throughout the world: Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors.
