EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Republican Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum visited Grace Church in Eden Prairie Sunday morning with just a few days left before Tuesday's caucuses.

"I'm just trying to walk the path Christ has laid out for me," Santorum told the congregation of close to 3,000 people. "It's up to Him on how everything turns out."

Santorum spoke for 15 minutes during a question and answer period with Senior Pastor Troy Dobbs. Although Dobbs made certain that Grace Church isn't supporting Santorum, the former Senator from Pennsylvania shared about his personal faith journey and how it shapes his view as a candidate.

"That's how this country was built on faith and on His laws," he said. "That helps to build a great society, not from the government and the top down, but from good people and faithful people on the bottom on up."

Santorum was also scheduled to make stops in Bemidji and Lake Waconia on Sunday.

A new survey by Public Policy Polling shows Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum have a shot at winning Tuesday's caucuses.

Santorum has a slight lead with 29 percent of the vote, while Mitt Romney has 27 percent. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul follow with 22 percent and 19 percent respectively.

Ron Paul is expected to make appearances in Minneapolis and in St. Cloud on Monday. Gingrich plans to greet supporters in Bloomington.
