The Groundswell is an event hosted by Augsburg University’s Riverside Innovation Hub
and the Minneapolis Area Synod’s Faith & Neighboring Practices, connecting people of
faith who are invested in place-based ministry and the call to be faithful neighbors.
Attendees will hear stories of faithful neighborhood ministry, develop skills for engaging
meaningfully with their neighbors, and connect with leaders serving the common good
locally and from across the country.

The Groundswell – Look, Now is the Acceptable Time
Our theme this year “Look, Now is the Acceptable Time” comes from 2 Corinthians –
and is a reminder that God is calling us to be part of creating communities of care now –
at this moment, in this place. Now is always the acceptable time, and yet we also know
that this moment in our history carries its own unique opportunities, challenges, and
urgency. While powers and principalities seek to divide, control, and devour, we can
participate in a different story rooted in justice, abundance, and community. Look, now is
the acceptable time!
Registration will go live in mid-December 2025.
