Our Story
History & Origins
Endurance Church was founded by Pastor Anthony Bass, who was called to start a unique church in Brooklyn Park. Our church’s mission is “to make faithful disciples of Christ” through “loving, disciplined, faith-based teaching,” offering practical training for physical and spiritual growth, and giving ongoing encouragement and care. Our vision emphasizes caring for “spirit, soul and body” — working toward a Christ-centered community that values both spiritual health and physical wellness.
Values & Emphasis
At Endurance Church, we value Christ-like character, focus on congregants (community), teaching of the Word (Bible-centered teaching), teamwork, outreach, innovation, family and fun, as well as prayer, praise, and worship. In short: we want to be a warm, Christ-centered community that emphasizes scripture, spiritual growth, community connection, outreach, and also holistic wellness (spirit & body).
Our Vision
Our vision is to see Christianity not just as spiritual worship but as spiritual formation, which impacts every aspect of life - spiritual, physical, mental, emotional and relational. We aim to create a Christ-centered community that values both spiritual health and physical wellness.
