He and a growing number of Swedes joined First Baptist Church (Minneapolis), and eventually formed a Swedish Bible class.[1] Peterson was of the view that Scandinavian immigrants made the best Baptists, because, as he put it in 1886, they were Protestants, religious, were not communists or socialists, and very few of them were "peddlars, organ grinders, or beggars.Membership rose to 834, and language tension grew during that time between old (Swedish) and young (English).In 2002, the church expanded its downtown ministry into the northern Minneapolis by creating a second campus.[7] In June 2005, the church moved into its current North Campus facility in Mounds View.[22] In September 2018, the church moved into its current South Campus facility in Lakeville.[23] Jason Meyer resigned as Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Downtown Campus, effective August 1, 2021.[25] The church had three pastors resign during the summer of 2021, citing issues including bullying, a toxic culture, and conflicts over how to handle abuse.[28] In 2022, it ended its multisite network and its North and South campuses became stand-alone churches.
