About
Welcome to St. John's UCC!
St. John's United Church of Christ, a landmark in Ackley since 1869, is located at 716 Third Avenue. While many of our members have celebrated their faith here for their entire lives, we welcome all persons of faith who want to hear God's word or are searching for Sunday morning worship service and fellowship. All children are welcome to participate in Sunday School and youth activities where they can learn about Jesus and begin to build a relationship with God. We are the church with the purple doors, and we invite you to come in and worship with us. Thank you for visiting our website!
