 Welcome to our church. We appreciate your interest. It is our goal to provide an environment where you can grow and develop in your walk of faith.
Our worship services provide opportunities for people to gather for worship. This allows you to explore what becoming a disciple of Jesus means. Our ministries make it possible for individuals to connect in fellowship, spiritual growth and service.

Birthdays & Anniversaries: (Week of June 29) none listed Safe Sanctuaries The Iowa Conference wants each church to establish a Child & Youth Protection Policy. The purpose is to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the physical safety and spiritual growth of the children and youth involved in conference and district ministry settings. In all of our ministries with children and youth, the Iowa Conference is committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each child will be “…surrounded by steadfast love,…established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II,” United Methodist Hymnal, p. 44. Our church would like to have 3-4 volunteers who would help complete this policy and assist with administration of all records. Please contact Jeannette Fredericks Weber as soon as possible if you would be able to assist with this very important project.  Friends,
Prayer Force Bible study will meet following worship! The intention is to meet for one hour each week. All are invited to share in Bible study and fellowship as we seek to deepen our relationship with our Creator, Savior, and the Holy Spirit.
Each week a written
prayer for our church will be included in the bulletin.
...Humor is a prelude to faith, and laughter is the beginning of prayer.
