OUR SERVICES
Come as you are to any of our services! Our Sunday mornings are informal and family-oriented. We typically begin our time together by worshipping our Lord through music. Contemporary in style, our worship is at times exuberant, at times intimate. Following this is Sunday school classes for children and a practical, biblically-based teaching time for adults and high schoolers. Then donuts and coffee!

Our once-a-month Wednesday evening meetings are intimate times of worship, open sharing, and celebrating the Lord's Supper.

Throughout the week, Life Groups meet at various locations. Check out the Life Groups page for more information.


OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help you find real life, reach your potential, and discover your purpose in life through a living relationship with Jesus Christ and life-giving relationships with people.

We want to reach an ever-increasing sphere of people, both in our church neighborhood and throughout the city, with the message of Christ. We believe that will be accomplished as we focus on Loving God, Loving People, and Loving Life, watching God work in and through us.

The following five dynamics further illustrate what Des Moines Fellowship is all about:

» Ever Expanding
God's kingdom is ever expanding and increasing. (Isaiah 9:7) We have a vision for, and encourage a culture of growth -- personal, corporate, and kingdom-wide. We want to plan for it, prepare for it, and expect it in every area of ministry.

» Life-Giving
A life-giving church creates a place where people are free to enjoy life. A life-giving church gives hope, builds faith, motivates through grace (not guilt), and presents a life that flows from the Holy Spirit within, not one externally controlled with rules and regulations.

» Permission-Granting
Permission-granting is all about power: power to release people's creativity and gifts, and power to unleash the potential God placed within His church body. A fully-functioning church family is made of motivated people with ideas, vision, creativity, and gifts. A permission-granting church releases these people into ministry.

» Raising Up The Next Generation
The gifts and life of the youth and young adults in our church body are highly valued, and we seek to use them in every area of ministry.

» Dependence on God
A dynamic prayer life increases our level of faith and dependence on God. In that faith, we increasingly draw on God's limitless resources.
