Breaking of Bread
Our Breaking of Bread service is every Sunday at 9:30 AM, with a Fellowship break at 10:30 AM and the Family Bible Hour at 11:00 AM
Coffee Hour/Bible Study - Wednesdays, 9:40 AM
This Bible Study group meets on Wednesday mornings at 9:40 am during the school season. This is a great time for retirees and people of all ages. Many faithfully attend and all are always welcomed. We begin with coffee, tea, and pastries; sing a few songs; and then, using the Chapel prayer sheets, we cover every prayer request and take additional requests. We finish the hour with a solid Bible study.
Home Fellowships
Our Home Fellowship meetings begin in October. They take place at various homes in the area on different week nights and give us an opportunity to get to know others from the chapel and also to grow in the Lord. Topics vary with each group. For a date and location for these Fellowships call (206) 878-2145.
NW Missionary Focus - 2nd Saturday of every month
NW Missionary Focus is part of our missionary outreach. It is time to learn each month what's happening on the mission field, abroad and locally, and then to pray for our various missionaries. One or two missionaries are featured speakers each month where they share about what the Lord is doing in the country in which they are serving. They always have exciting and fascinating news to share about their work. NW Missionary Focus meets on the 2nd Saturday of every month, currently at 5:00 PM, rotating among several different chapels, including DMGC.
Des Moines Food Bank
Currently housed in the Des Moines United Methodist Church at 22225 9th Avenue South, the Food Bank reaches out to many people. Lots of help is required to adequately serve the community. Des Moines Gospel Chapel gives both financially and personnel-wise.
Library
The DMGC Library serves both children and adults (just off the main lobby). The hundreds of books, freely available to all, cover a broad range of interests, fiction and non-fiction, commentaries and topical titles.
Spiritual Counseling & Premarital Preparation
Here at Des Moines Gospel Chapel, we are committed to the family and their special needs in today's society. Our pre-marital preparation program is designed to help young couples considering marriage to objectively review all facets of marriage and clarify Biblical roles and responsibilities. Experienced spiritual counseling is available when family relationships are hurting. Please feel free to call the Chapel (206-878-2145) and we will be happy to arrange counseling.
Union Gospel Mission - 2nd & 3rd Sunday of every month
For more than 40 years, the assembly at Des Moines Gospel Chapel has participated in the preaching of the gospel at the Union Gospel Mission. We have consistently supported this work financially, and provided speakers and music two Sundays each month. Many have professed faith in Christ, and many have been counseled about their spiritual problems.
