Fabric Podcast
Welcome to the Fabric podcast! Fabric is a thoughtful, progressive experiment in being church, based in South Minneapolis. We love hosting space where curiosity, connection, and inclusive belonging have space to stretch out and get comfy. Take the time you need to explore what we’re about, and when you’re ready, connect however feels best. The conversation is always fresh! Fabric is church, for the rest of us. #FabricMpls

Whether you feel pain, numb, excitement, curiosity, fear or something else, this conversation (rebroadcast from before we entered the pandemic) points to who we are as Fabric. As we celebrate 15 years as a community, it seemed like a great place to return!
