For any Christians in the Saint Paul area... any church recommendations near Roseville?

I am looking for a church that focuses on Jesus and regularly explains the gospel. I also want a church that takes discipleship seriously, encouraging people to continually grow in devotion and obedience to God, taking sin seriously without being too judgmental. I know it's a tall order since churches tend to lean too far to one side or the other, but I want to be challenged to change, not just hear fluffy "inspirational" messages. I'd also like them to take the call to serve the poor seriously and not just be sitting comfortably in their upper-middle-class luxury. Other pluses are a strong small group ministry and a gospel-focused children's ministry. I have looked at some church websites but I'm looking for some personal recommendations. Thanks!

Hi! I'm new to DS & CDing but saw your question. I don't know if they are everything your looking for but I've heard from a lot of people that Grace Church is great. My parents attended there for a while as well & really liked it. Happy hunting
