Welcome to First Lutheran Church of Ottumwa
Our congregation comes from many different backgrounds and traditions; and together, we are committed to strong family values based upon our love for the Word of God.
Through inspiring Worship and dedicated Christian Education
(Pre-School -Adult), we seek to embody that love and then reach out through a ministry of care and service for others.
Everyone is Welcome!
We are located at 4th and Jefferson,
next to the Ottumwa High School,
with two parking lots on 4th street across from the Church.
