Alathea Baptist Church

About this church

Alathea Baptist Church meets at its County Line Road campus in Des Moines, beginning Sundays with classes at 9:30 a.m. Morning worship follows at 10:30, and an evening service begins at 6:00 p.m.; Wednesday prayer meets at 6:30. The congregation presents disciple-making through the memorable pattern “Win One, Lead One, Follow One,” pairing evangelism with personal mentoring and continued growth. Its doctrinal and ministry pages emphasize a Christ-centered, Bible-directed Baptist identity rather than a program-first approach.

Family life at Alathea is intentionally age-integrated. Elementary classes are available during Sunday School, but children are welcomed in the main worship gathering, and the church describes parents—not a separate ministry structure—as the primary disciplers of their children. Teenagers likewise learn and serve within the wider congregation rather than through a conventional standalone youth-group model. Monthly game nights and an annual Family Camp create additional intergenerational settings. That philosophy will appeal most to families who want worship and discipleship shared across ages. Since recurring events and class offerings can change, newcomers should use the official calendar or contact page to confirm the week's complete schedule before visiting.
