Welcome to First Lutheran Church

Worship with us!

Every Sunday at 9:30 AM

724 N 8th Street
Missouri Valley, IA 51555

  • We celebrate the Divine Service with Holy Communion every Sunday at 9:30 AM

  • We worship out of our Synod’s hymnal, the Lutheran Service Book. We follow the traditional liturgy of our Lutheran history and our readings follow the Three Year Lectionary cycle.

  • Not at all; everyone is welcome to worship with us!

    St. Paul tells us that those who take Communion incorrectly have gotten sick and even died as they potentially bring judgement on themselves, therefore we reserve Communion for Confirmed members of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Churches and those in fellowship with them, trusting that they have been properly instructed.

Who
we are
