Who we are...

The Des Moines Intentional Eucharistic Community is rooted in Catholic tradition, but open to change.

Our Church is a journey in faith — religion led and practiced in the active not passive, tense.

We freely gather to share and celebrate our faith journeys in spirited and creative liturgies.

We minister to one another and to our world as we strive to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ a reality.

As a community, we are committed to:

• Prayer. Personal prayer and community worship deepen our relationship with God.

• Inclusivity. All are welcome to share our table.

• Generosity and tolerance. We recognize that wisdom comes from many sources.

• Social justice. We are dedicated to serving others, especially the marginalized and often ignored.

• The Spirit-inspired principles of Vatican II. We approach the world with open arms and joyful hearts.

We are creating a Church of the future.

Our new location is at 3300 University Avenue in Des Moines. Click here for a map and directions.
