About Us

message from sr. pastor

Thanks for stopping by our website. As you explore the many pages, I hope you find a church that is alive and excited about representing Jesus in our community and world. Our logo expresses our mission: Making disciples to reach Des Moines and touch the world. This is not just a slogan, but a mandate for us. Jesus commands His disciples to go and make other disciples (Matthew 28:19). This is the heart of our ministry, making fully-functioning, followers of Christ.

I encourage you to fully explore our site. It should answer many of your questions about First Federated. However, if it does not, please contact us by email or phone so we can help. I invite you to be our guest. We have three Sunday morning services, Celebration (a blend of contemporary and traditional) or The River and River 2 services (contemporary). More information about these services can be found on the Worship and Media tab.
