Small Town, Big Heart: Free Grace Reformed Church in Middleburg, Iowa
is Looking for Their Next Senior Pastor
Free Grace Reformed Church might be in one of the smallest towns you'll ever hear of—Middleburg, Iowa, population 20—but don't let that number fool you. This church is full of life, purpose, and people deeply committed to each other and their faith. With about 175 attending each week, this rural congregation knows how to show up and grow together.
Tucked into the peaceful countryside of northwest Iowa, Free Grace offers a unique mix of small-town charm and connection, plus access to great schools, colleges, and the nearby communities of Sioux Center and Orange City. You’ll find folks who know how to work hard, lend a hand, and share life as neighbors and friends. It’s a safe, family-friendly place with strong roots and solid values.
The church itself blends history with fresh vision. Their worship is a mix of hymns and praise songs, led by a gifted team. Ministries like "Mendistry" for men, youth group, women’s studies, mission trips, and Wednesday night activities help people of all ages stay connected and grow in faith. They’ve even added space recently to accommodate the growth God’s bringing their way.
Now, they’re looking for a pastor who’s not afraid to get involved—someone who’ll preach the Word, visit the elderly, build trust with teens, and lead with humility and heart. If you're the kind of leader who sees ministry as a calling, not a job—and you're ready to root down in a community that will genuinely care for you and your family—this might be exactly where you’re meant to be.
