About Us
Where Are We located?
We are located on the south side of the street at 312 West
Main in Marshalltown, Iowa. Here is a MapQuest link:
Map of 312 W Main St Marshalltown, IA 50158-5757, US. Parking is available in the
lot on the south side of our church building; on the street; and
on Sunday mornings, across the street at Pursel-Davis Funeral
Home.
We worship in an historic, circa 1913, building. While
our history in Marshalltown begins in 1868, our roots on the
North American shore began with the Pilgrims in 1620.
Our Sunday Services:
Visitors are always welcome. Our schedule
for worship services can be found here.
As you enter our sanctuary (dress is casual) you will be
greeted by one of our members wearing a name tag. They
will provide you with a weekly bulletin that will guide you
through the service. Information packets are also
available for visitors.
Our services will typically include:
- Greetings, announcements and any cares and concerns.
- Music: The service includes inspirational music from our
bell choir, chancel choir, piano and organ duets, singing of
hymns, and occasional special musical presentations.
- Reading of the Word by Lay Members.
- A children's message (that usually relates to the adults
as well).
- A heart-felt message from Pastor Barry Holmes that applies
to our daily lives.
- A time for meditation and prayer.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is offered each quarter (see
our calendar
of events). Everyone is invited to take part in
Communion.
Following the service, join us for fellowship, coffee and
cookies on the lower level.
What Is the Congregational Way?
The Congregational Way is a way of following Christ. People
of a Congregational Church do not seek to be led by a creed, but
by the Spirit. Ours is the tradition of a free church, gathered
under the headship of Christ and bound to others by love, not
law. Click here for more information on the Congregational
Way.
-
We celebrate Jesus Christ as the head of the church.
-
We recognize the Bible is God's authoritative word.
-
We embrace the church as God's family in faith.
