Woodridge Church Information

Woodridge Church is a daughter church of Wooddale Church of Eden Prairie, MN. Planted in 1990 under the leadership of Senior Pastor, Paul Johnson, Woodridge has always had a passion for creating a safe place for people to explore the truths of Jesus. From the outset, the mission of Woodridge Church has been and continues to be "to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ." In the summer of 1990, the new church began meeting in the basement of a bank building next to Wooddale and on October 7, 1990, held its first public service in what is now Central Middle School in Plymouth, MN. In 1991, Woodridge moved to a leased facility on County Rd. 6 in Medina. The building complex, formerly the Spring Hill Conference Center, became a place where the vision of Woodridge came to be lived out in the lives of her members and attenders. The facility was for sale by the owners the entire six years that Woodridge was a tenant. In the summer of 1996, Woodridge broke ground on their current building located in Medina on County Rd. 24. In January of 1997, the congregation moved into their new building. Very shortly after moving, the Spring Hill Conference Center was sold and was turned into a golf course. In 1999, a second phase of the Woodridge building project was completed, adding an office complex and larger rooms for students grade school through high school. In more recent years, we have expanded our services and locations, adding sites in Delano (Crow River Church), Hopkins (Mercy Hill Church), Plymouth (Hope Bridge Church), and a monthly Sunday evening Praise Service at Woodridge called PRAXIS. Throughout the history of Woodridge, her members and leaders would say that God has been faithful. In recent years, our vision focus has become this: loving our community in the name of Jesus.
