With Minneapolis being the most Jewish city in Minnesota (25 percent), Chosen People Ministries engages in door-to-door outreach in St. Louis Park, Bible studies, seminars on Messianic Jewish apologetics, one-on-one discipleship, and regular meetings with local (unbelieving) Jewish people.

History of Jewish Work in Minneapolis
The work in Minneapolis began in 1963 under the leadership of Harry Jacobson. In 2016, Good News for Israel, one of the oldest evangelical outreaches to the Jewish community in the United States, integrated into Chosen People Ministries. As a result, the latter obtained a building in the heart of St. Louis Park—the Jewish center of Minneapolis—and provided two missionaries. Over the years, Minneapolis has been a stronghold of the Messianic Jewish community with many leaders coming from this area.
