About Our Church

Glen Avon’s ministry is community centered, nurturing spiritual growth and belonging while remaining connected to the needs beyond our walls. Our programs focus on supporting neighbors facing housing and food insecurity, in partnership with local organizations that feed the hungry, provide temporary shelter, and advocate for social change. A dedicated fund offers scholarships to area students who have experienced significant hardship and provides small grants to Presbytery congregations for capital repairs.

Within the church, book groups and learning opportunities address social harms, encouraging reflection and faithful action. Members also participate in Disaster Assistance and local efforts focused on housing, environmental care, and community wellbeing. Much of Glen Avon’s impact extends through the civic involvement of its members, who serve widely across Duluth. Music is a vital expression of our mission. Multiple music groups welcome people of all abilities to participate in worship, deepen spiritual connection, and build community. Our building further serves the region by hosting outside groups, reflecting our commitment to hospitality.

Glen Avon is one of the largest PC(USA) congregation in the area by membership and attendance. It is part of the Presbytery of Northern Waters, whose offices are housed in our building.
