Then you can tell them, "They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across." These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever. 
—Joshua 4:7 (NLT)

In Joshua 4:7, the Israelites placed stones by the Jordan River as a reminder of how far God had brought them and what He had done for them. In the same way, we want to remember how God has worked through Hosanna during our history and how He will continue to work through us to multiply the hope and heartbeat of Jesus!

Hosanna Church has a rich 40-year history of seeking to humbly and boldly look more like Jesus. We were started in 1980 with Pastor Bill Bohline and 180 members who met at Buck Hill Ski Chalet. After years of faithfully gathering together for worship and learning, the church grew, and we moved into our current Lakeville building in 1996.

Then, God built up connections and relationships with communities and other churches in the South metro, opening the doors for Hosanna to open and adopt three additional campuses in Northfield, Rosemount, and Shakopee between 2014 and 2019.

With that time, we also gladly installed Ryan Alexander as our lead pastor in 2015 and developed a mission and vision statement to bring us through the next chapter of Hosanna Church. We pray God will continue to work through us in the years and decades to come to multiply the hope and heartbeat of Jesus!
