Our mission is to cover Iowa with churches where it doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done or what’s been done to you, God loves you, and you can look for God here. You’ll be welcomed into a friendly, casual environment by people who are excited to see you!
Ever wonder what PLC has to say about some of the most pressing issues you and the people in your Little Iowa are asking about? Stuff like human suffering, global warming, anxiety, poverty, why following Jesus and attending church are important. In this four-week series, we'll tackle a variety of topics, the church's answers, and how you can respond to those in your circle when they ask hard questions about the world and God's role in it.
Lent is the six-week period leading up to Easter. Originally a preparation period for those desiring to be baptized, it eventually became embedded into Christian tradition as a season for the Church to symbolically follow Christ into the wilderness. It's a time for fasting, self-denial and emptying ourselves of lesser things so we might be filled with the greater things of the Gospel. We'll narrow our focus to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, turn from our sin and trust in His atoning work.

We're all being formed by something. According to Barna's Connected Generation Report, 59% of Millennials and Gen Zers are anxious, and only one third feel cared for by the people around them. Barna also found this age of anxiety, worry and fear is tied to increased social media use and screen time. In this three-week series, we'll examine how our tech affects our thoughts, actions and reactions and go to the Bible to develop healthy mindsets and habits to focus ourselves on the life-giving love and wisdom of God.

As we kick off 2022, we'll take a look at how we might “wander less” in the New Year.
Jesus sometimes describes us as “sheep,” and not in a very flattering way: like sheep, we've got a tendency to wander off… sometimes to some pretty dark and lonely places. As we kick off 2022, we'll take a look at how we might “wander less” in the New Year.
God still bestows His favor on His people and wants us to share this with the world.
The Christmas story begins with the angel Gabriel appearing to Mary saying, "Greetings, you who are highly favored!" Now, Mary had done nothing to warrant God's favor. She wasn't wealthy or important by earthly standards, but God honored her with the privilege of becoming Jesus' mother because He's God, and He's good. What does this mean for us today? God still bestows His favor on His people, and when our hearts are filled with this knowledge, we want to share it with a world that desperately needs to know there's a God who loves them and is FOR them.

We're spending two weeks exploring what grace is and isn't and how God's grace changes everything.
In the book of Ephesians, Paul writes, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." But what is "grace"? As we head toward the holiday season, we're spending two weeks exploring what grace is and isn't and how God's grace changes everything.

We'll look at Sermon on the Mount and ask whether we're really hearing what Jesus is saying.
If Jesus was serious, then why don't we take him more seriously? Compare Jesus' teaching with a quick survey of how Christians live, and one thing becomes apparent: we often ignore much of what He said. This series takes a look at some of Jesus' most demanding teachings in the Sermon on the Mount and pushes us to ask whether we're really hearing what Christ is saying.
