First Christian Church Des Moines

"Imagine love and justice.
Jesus did. We do.
Let's journey together."

This is our adopted slogan as a shalom (hebrew word for "peace") congregation striving for love and justice for over 125 years.

We are Christ’s disciples, an open community of worship, nurture and service. We journey together, seeking God’s guidance and grace for life and mission both near and far.

We welcome all God’s children though differing in race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, physical or mental ability, political stance or theological perspective, and we affirm the faith, baptism and spiritual gifts of all Christians celebrating that all people are part of God’s good creation.

Everyone is welcome in this church. All means you!
