Church Life
Living together for Christ
Our church enjoys living together as Christ’s Body (1 Cor. 12:27). We aspire to be a community that is intentionally reaching in various directions.
UP
UP-Reach
We are first and foremost a worshiping community. Jesus Christ is our life, and we who are united to him delight to gather together to honor him and learn together about his truth.
DOWN
DOWN-Reach
We seek stable and fruitful lives deeply rooted in the enduring and abiding Word of God. To this end our church nearly always has multiple bible studies or prayer meetings taking place on a weekly basis. Every year, our church members participate in various youth or summer conferences, digging deeper into the riches of Scripture.
OUT
OUT-Reach
We are committed to personal evangelism and inviting people to church. We seek out various ways to serve and establish relationships in our local community, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ as he gives opportunity.
IN
IN-Reach
The Apostle tells us, “owe no one anything except to love each other” (Rom. 13:8). Perhaps the most foundational aspect of our church is that we are a community — a group of people “communing” in each others lives. We delight to gather together every month of the year for our fellowship luncheons. We celebrate baptisms, graduations, weddings, and funerals of those in our community. We seek to engage in each other’s lives, and minister God’s grace in love.
Psalm sings
The congregation gathers once a month to sing God’s Word and enjoy light refreshments—come make “joyful noise” with us!
Retreats
Once per quarter, our high school and college-age students gather with other youth from Midwest Reformed Presbyterian churches for a weekend of learning, fellowship, and fun.
Women’s fellowship
A women’s group that meets monthly with a focus on serving others in the church, especially missionaries around the globe.
Bible studies
There are always multiple groups meeting to study God’s Word. Talk to our pastor to find the right one for you.
Family camps
Every summer, members have several opportunities for a week of fun and deep exploration of God’s Word. We currently have two options: Iowa Family Camp and Golden Bell Family Camp in Colorado.
Vacation Bible School
A week-long experience for K-5th grade students, kids enjoy learning basic truths about God and his Word while having fun along the way.
Upward Basketball
Every winter we host Upward Basketball games in our Family Life Center. Kids learn and develop their basketball skills in a Christian environment.
