OUR STORY
The Des Moines Christian Church (formerly known as the Des Moines Church of Christ) was planted by a group of 18 disciples from all over the Midwest. They had a dream of building a church of true disciples of Jesus from every age, race, and socio-economic background in Iowa. It is inspiring to see that dream becoming a reality…and we are far from done! We are still dreaming of bringing Christ’s love to every community and every generation in Iowa and beyond
