About this church
Plymouth Church is a Des Moines congregation of the United Church of Christ committed to growing in love of God, neighbor, and creation. It welcomes people across race, gender, age, creed, class, orientation, and identity and approaches the Bible through careful communal reading that considers historical context. Worship ranges from a table-seated Saturday service with a live band to traditional sanctuary liturgy, brief Communion, and streamed Sunday worship. Discussion forums, pastoral care, children’s choirs, and ministry formation add learning and service opportunities beyond the main services.
Saturday worship begins at 5:00 p.m. in Waveland Hall and includes Communion, Scripture, sermon, and conversation around tables. During the published summer schedule, Sunday offers a brief Scripture-and-Communion service at 9:00 a.m. and combined sanctuary worship at 10:00, followed by Forum at 11:00. Older program-year bulletins show separate 9:00 and 11:00 services, so visitors should confirm when that pattern resumes. Sunday sanctuary worship streams live. Choir times and children’s participation change with the program year, and the online bulletin is the best date-specific guide for music, Communion, and special observances.
