Capitol Hill Lutheran Church

Capitol Hill Lutheran Church is a welcoming and historic urban congregation nestled in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa. Rooted in the ELCA tradition and guided by the gospel message of Christ’s love and justice, we serve as a vital part of the East Village community. For over a century, we’ve been committed to inclusivity, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds – regardless of race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other distinction – fostering a strong sense of belonging and actively supporting our neighbors through initiatives like the Clothes Closet and partnerships with local non-profits.

We offer a vibrant worship experience that blends traditional liturgy with modern elements, engaging people of all ages and demographics. Our ministries extend beyond our walls, enriching the lives of those in the village and reflecting God’s creation. We are a community that truly believes: it takes a village.
