History

3 Degrees Ministries, the club's parent company, was founded in 1989 under the name "The New Union." Club 3 Degrees formed at the same time. The club stayed at its second location, after moving from the Old Union Bar and Grille, until 2003. At that point, the ministry, along with Club 3 and 3 Degrees Church, moved to the warehouse district of Minneapolis where it remained for 8 years. [2] The move to the warehouse district attracted attention from major magazines such as Newsweek [1] and Rolling Stone.[ citation needed ]

In 2011, 3 Degrees moved across the street from its long-time location and became a mobile ministry. [3]
