The Ministry Team at Simple Church works along side the leadership and direction of the Lead Team, a group of leaders (known as elders or the board in other churches) in the church who volunteer their time to give biblical and financial guidance. You can email them at: leadteam@simple.church

Simple Church only exists because of wonderful volunteers on our Dream Team who give their time, talents, and treasures to help spread the gospel of Jesus across the Des Moines area and beyond.
