About Saint Pauls Lutheran Chapel
Saint Paul's Lutheran Chapel is a congregation of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod located in Iowa City, serving both University of Iowa students and residents of the surrounding community since 1927. Centered on the preaching of Christ Crucified and Risen, the chapel emphasizes the Word of God, Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord's Supper as means of grace. The congregation offers a traditional liturgical worship experience using the Divine Service format from the Lutheran Service Book, along with Bible classes, Sunday school for all ages, service projects, and social fellowship. Whether you are a student or longtime resident, Saint Paul's welcomes visitors with a friendly atmosphere and an open pastoral door for questions about Lutheran theology and practice.
