St. Paul's Lutheran Chapel is a congregation of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod located at 404 E Jefferson Street in Iowa City, serving a vibrant mix of students at the University of Iowa and residents of the surrounding community since 1927.

Beyond Sunday worship, St. Paul's offers three Bible classes, Sunday school for all ages, service projects, and social events designed to build community across all age groups and interests. The congregation welcomes visitors warmly, with pastoral leadership available before services and a welcoming atmosphere that values both the formal traditions of Lutheran worship and genuine hospitality. Whether you are a student seeking a church home or a longtime resident, St. Paul's extends an open invitation to join their worshiping community.
