Join with churches around Iowa and Minnesota, each holding one another up as we share the gospel with the people God has called us to reach.
Together, sharing the gospel
Converge North Central (a region of Converge) is a movement of unique churches across Iowa and Minnesota.
Since 1858, we’ve been resourcing churches so they can build healthy leaders, strengthen their ministries, and leverage their unique gifts to help more people meet, know, and follow Jesus.
