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,
