First Congregational Church

About this church

First Congregational Church in Marshalltown meets at 312 West Main Street and holds two worship services on Sunday mornings. A chapel service begins at 8:00 a.m. and usually ends around 8:30. The sanctuary service begins at 10:30 a.m. and typically finishes about 11:30, running a little longer on Communion Sunday, which falls on the first Sunday of the month. Childcare is available during the 10:30 service. Worship is also streamed on the church's YouTube channel, where replays can be watched. The congregation started in 1868 and has worshiped in its current building since 1914.

Sunday School meets at 9:15 a.m. for preschool through 12th grade. All ages begin together with music in the Loft, which is reached through the parking lot doors and up three flights of stairs, and then split into age groups to study the Bible. Adult Sunday School runs from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. for anyone past high school. Its studies may work through a book of the Bible, take up a theme, or leave room for conversation and prayer. Midweek youth groups include D.O.G.S. (Depend On God) for elementary students, Pilgrim Youth for middle school, and Pilgrim Fellowship for senior high. The site's calendar and ministry pages list slightly different days and times, so confirm the schedule with the church before visiting.
