An Ankeny church plant
Gathering into the life-giving presence of God
Welcome in Jesus’ name!
We are a newly planted Free Lutheran church (AFLC) in the northern Des Moines/Ankeny area. We gather weekly in homes for Bible study and prayer. Join us for preview services at 10am each 4th Sunday of the month at Rock Creek Elementary School (directions)!
It is our belief that God gives and shapes life through the local church. These gatherings are the place where Christ is present in the Word and sacrament. We are a people pursuing joyful worship, deep relationship, radical hospitality, and lives transformed by the good news of salvation freely given by faith in our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ!
