First Unitarian Church of Des Moines, Iowa: Breakthrough Congregation
General Assembly 2009 Event 4021
Presenters: Rev. Mark Stringer, Harvey Harrison, Lori Emison-Clair, Sally Boeckholt. Sponsored by the Prairie Star District.
In 2000, First Unitarian Church of Des Moines made an intentional decision to grow out of a 30-year 250 member plateau. Eight years later, the membership numbers 400, and the congregation is being recognized for its "Breakthrough." Join representatives from this vibrant congregation as they share their story.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
