Wakonda Christian Church

About this church

Wakonda Christian Church is a Des Moines congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), welcoming varied backgrounds and opinions into an open-minded community centered on God’s love and the Communion table. Worship blends hymns, choir, Taizé, spirituals, and contemporary music. Children, youth, preschool, mission partnerships, shelter meals, seasonal giving, and community service connect that open table with practical work locally and beyond.

Sunday School for children and youth begins at 9:00 a.m., followed by all-ages worship at 10:00. Nursery care is staffed from Sunday School through the end of worship. Families may also use a preschool Pray-Ground near the front of the sanctuary or activity bags for school-age children. Communion is open to everyone, and clothing ranges from jeans and T-shirts to suits and dresses. During the school year, Wednesdays at Wakonda meets from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. for school-age children and youth, combining a meal, games, study, and mission activities. Listening devices and sermon manuscripts support people with hearing impairments. Visitors can choose to keep children in worship, use the nursery, or begin with age-specific learning at 9:00 before the blended service.
