Churches of the Mobile Ministry
Crane Lake Chapel
The Crane Lake Chapel, in the heart of the border wilderness of Northern Minnesota, seeks to be a christian witness in the land of the Voyageurs. Located on the route used by the Voyageur fur traders, Crane Lake, Minnesota is between the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) and Voyageurs National Park.
Non-denominational, the Chapel is the first fruit of work begun in the area by the American Sunday School Union in 1947. This beginning has been continued under the leadership of a number of groups. The Chapel has received pastoral leadership from the UMC Mobile Ministry since 1966. The original building was built in 1950 and now includes two later additions to the charming chapel. We seek to minister to the entire Crane Lake community and we feel a special responsibility to those who spend their vacation and leisure time in our area. Everyone is welcome to share in the activities of the Chapel and a very special welcome is extended to visitors. "Come as you are" is the invitation in our relaxed and informal services. SUNDAY SERVICE - 11:30 am The first Sunday of each month Communion during worship. 7399 Handberg Rd., Crane Lake, MN 55725 218-993-2325 Google Map Directions | Kabetogama United Methodist Church
The Kabetogama (Kaba-to'ga-ma) United Methodist Church is located in the rugged northern wilderness of Minnesota.
We seek to be a christian witness to Lake Kabetogama and the surrounding area. Our congregation began in 1961 under the leadership of the Mobile Ministry of the United Methodist Church which serves the area. Services were first held in a vacant home in the area, and the church itself was built in 1963. We just celebrated our 50th anniversary! The beauty of our sanctuary is greatly enriched by the hand-carved pulpit, baptismal font, candelabra and altar, all made by Mr. Herman Melheim, a local resident.
