History
edit3 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]
