pot Luck and Progressive Worship at 500 East Locust

Don't we all need community right now? The kitchen and table are perfect places to build meaningful friendships. Join us in our beautiful new space, a rustic loft in the trendy East Village. Bring a favorite dish to share and we'll get to know one another, and enjoy soulful music from local singers and songwriters. At the table we'll dine with friends, story, song, prayer and progressive worship.

Beautiful worship experiences inspire and empower us to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly together. We are a community of spiritual people who genuinely care about one another, the earth, and our neighbors. Although most of us call ourselves followers of Jesus, some of us are agnostics, Buddhists, and spiritual but not religious. We respect many faith paths and embrace diversity. We love to learn so there's no need to check your brain at the door. Children are always welcome and engaged. Together we grapple with and embrace the deep questions of life.

If you are vegan or gluten free, please bring one of your specialties. We're always looking for great recipes to share. A free will offering helps pay for the musical gifts of our musicians, space rental and our justice work in Des Moines.
