Emmanuel Christian Center – Maple Grove Campus

“Join us Sundays at 9 and 11 AM for services,” whispers the sign outside Emmanuel Christian Center – Maple Grove Campus. Emmanuel Christian Center – Maple Grove Campus is abuzz with activity, especially on Easter Sunday. That’s when the campus hosts its much-anticipated Easter egg hunts. Three egg hunts take place throughout the day, coinciding with each service at 8:45, 10, and 11:30 AM. It’s a delight for the little ones, who eagerly scramble for candy-filled treasures. The energy is infectious as children and adults alike share in the joy of the occasion. Leading the vibrant community at Emmanuel Christian Center – Maple Grove Campus is Pastor Jeff Ruch, alongside his wife, Camrey. Having a long history with Emmanuel, their journey began right here, as high school sweethearts who met within the church walls. Their story unfolded beautifully, leading them to marry in 2018 and welcome two children: Kevin and Josie. Jeff’s journey in ministry isn’t accidental. He holds a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from North Central University. Before coming to Maple Grove in 2024, Jeff honed his skills as an Associate Pastor and Youth Pastor at Emmanuel in Elk River, MN, for six years. With a heart full of faith and a passion for their congregation, Jeff and Camrey continue to guide and inspire the Maple Grove community at Emmanuel Christian Center – Maple Grove Campus.
