First Christian Church

About this church

First Christian Church in Newton, Iowa, meets for worship on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. at 314 E. 2nd St. N. The congregation belongs to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Music blends traditional and contemporary styles and is led by the Revelation Praise Team. Depending on the week, the adult choir may sing or the Puppet Ministry may perform. Sermons are Bible-based and interactive. Communion is served every week at a table open to everyone, and baptism is by immersion. Casual dress is the norm.

Families can expect a children's moment during the service and a Family Room next to the sanctuary for parents who need extra space. Coffee Fellowship follows worship, with refreshments and conversation. During the week, the church's calendar lists Scouts on Tuesday evenings, a Bible study on Wednesday evenings, and choir practice on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Christian Women's Fellowship meets in the Fellowship Hall on the third Thursday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Members also gather for breakfast at a local diner on the second Thursday of the month. A Monday afternoon "Mat Monday" project turns plastic shopping bags into sleeping mats for people experiencing homelessness.
