The center of our faith, the center of our week.
Our worship is intergenerational, radically inclusive, and open to everyone
Worship at Indianola
Down-to-earth | Casual | Traditional | Contemplative | Creative
IPC's worship service is filled with beautiful historic and contemporary music and inspiring, relevant messages for all ages.
Each week we reconnect with God and one another through song, prayer, art, and scriptural reflection & dialogue.
We believe faith is something best practiced and shaped in community
and that worship is the best laboratory we have for God to shape us and allow us to experiment with and grow in faith!
Sundays at 10:30 am

Our sanctuary and worship format leans a bit “traditional,”
but you will always find here:
- rich, spirit-filled music drawing from contemporary & historic sources -
- a relevant scriptural message steeped in liberation theology as well as the reformed tradition -
- a radically warm, welcoming, and inclusive community -
- a place to “come-as-you-are” -
Kids of all ages are always welcome to join parents in the sanctuary for all parts of worship on Sunday. God put the wiggles in children, don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house. All kids are invited to come down for a special message just for them before the sermon.
For younger kids and nursing parents
At the back of our sanctuary is our Kid’s Carpet with rockers, toys, books, coloring materials and plenty of space for ambitious crawlers and wandering toddlers.
For older kids
At the front of the sanctuary are our Kid’s Table, stocked with activities to engage kids in worship. Parents are encouraged to sit in the front pew and continue to help your child worship.
Kids in Church!

*CALL TO WORSHIP
One: We gather as people who long to see clearly,
All: To see ourselves, each other, and God with new eyes.
One: We come seeking the One who fully sees us,
All: Who looks at us with love, who calls us beloved, who opens our eyes.
One: We’ve come ready to be changed,
All: Ready to see the kingdom of God in its fullness, in all its beautiful diversity.
One: So let us worship the God who gives sight to the blind,
All: And who reveals truth through the voices we've been missing.
One: Come, let us worship God together.
*HYMN 649 “Amazing Grace” AMAZING GRACE
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION Karen Crockett
Gracious God, we confess that we do not always see as you see. We look at people and make assumptions. We categorize and label instead of truly listening. We decide who has something to teach us and who doesn't. Often based on nothing more than whether they look or think or move through the world like we do.
Forgive us, God, for the people we have failed to see. Forgive us for the voices we have not heard. Forgive us for building communities that leave people out and calling it faithfulness.
Give us new sight. Help us to see every person as you see them: beloved, whole, gifted, essential. Help us to see your kingdom in its fullness, expansive enough to include us all. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.
