ISP Twin Cities

“I learned that I am not alone even on my worst days. I felt super comfortable opening up and sharing my story with the group.”

About Us


ISP Twin Cities began in 2011 thanks to a small group of dedicated volunteers and supporters. Today we have active men’s and women’s teams, partnerships with local social service agencies, and a growing circle of supporters. ISP Twin Cities currently hosts four overnight retreats per year and weekly spiritual reflections with a growing number of local social service agencies. Several volunteers and alumni regularly participate in leadership opportunities and retreats offered by the ISP Network. 

As one of over 20 cities within the ISP Network, ISP Twin Cities has brought experiences of love, hope and healing to thousands of individuals. For more information, please see the Twin Cities info sheet

Alumni Voices


Many ISP participants become retreat witnesses, team leaders, and facilitators and are a part of the leadership opportunities offered by the ISP Network.  We are so grateful for their authenticity and willingness to share their stories with the community.
