Our Story

The idea of a new church came to the lead pastor of Cornerstone Church in Watertown, SD. Although there were an endless amount of churches in Sioux Falls… the city was growing and it became clear that there might be a need for another.

With the growing interest for a new church in Sioux Falls, we decided it would be a good test to see if people would actually turn out for a service. With a few emails, calls, and a great deal of prayer, 32 of us got together and worshiped for the first time on September 4, 2006… To be honest, we had no clue what the future held (or what we were doing), but we sensed God asking us to follow Him.  This group would end up becoming Embrace.  Soon after that service, small groups began gathering in homes and we began to meet for worship once a month… seeing new faces each time.

On July 1, 2007, Adam Weber officially became our pastor. On March 30, 2008, we began meeting weekly. We “lifted off” as a church on April 13th, 2008. September 13th, 2009 we moved into a new home at 69th & Cliff.    On Sunday February 20th, 2011, Embrace was officially chartered as a church.  September 11th of 2011, we moved into our current home on 57th Street.

Words can’t express what God has done in and through the people at Embrace so far… We’re still not exactly sure what the future holds… we’re just doing our best to continue following after the Lord.  We look forward to what God has in store and we’d love for you to become a part of our story.
