The Simple Church Story
At the start of 2014 seven people met to pray about starting a new way of being the church. On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014, 50 other people joined us for the first service of Simple Church at the Event Center West in West Des Moines, Iowa.
We believed God was leading us to be an authentic, relational, and yet outreaching church which would be a loose-knit network of Jesus followers gathering together to encourage each other in our spiritual lives and then going out, moved by the Holy Spirit, to share and demonstrate the Gospel. Our model was, and is, the New Testament Church found in Acts 2:42-47. Some of the ways we seek to live out this model is by always meeting around round tables, always renting or leasing facilities, practicing servant-leadership, caring for the needs of everyone in our local church and ultimately have campuses through the Des Moines, Iowa area. We care more about changed lives than church membership, community than activity, belonging than just attending, and reaching a hurting world than just growing a big church.
Our prayer, for Simple Church, is that God will help us always be a place that exists for the sole purposes of loving God, loving others and serving our world. That’s all God wants us to do. We believe people are hungry to know God in a personal way, be part of real relationships where people know & love each other and believe they belong and find God’s purpose for their lives.
That’s how we keep it simple!
