Iowa Yearly Meeting is a group of Evangelical Friends Churches in Iowa and Wisconsin. We have a single purpose of making the love of Jesus Christ known. To this end, our offices in Oskaloosa and Eldora serve the 36 monthly meetings and over 3300 members/attendees of IAYM.

Friends have no creeds - no official words can substitute for a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. These unofficial statements give a general sense of Friends' faith:

• God is love and wants to communicate inwardly with everyone who is willing.


• Worship is spiritual and must be Spirit-led.


• All people are equal before God and may minister as they are led by God.


• Jesus Christ is our present Teacher and Lord, and we seek to conduct church affairs in unity under his guidance.


• The Spirit of God gives guidance that is consistent with the Bible.


• As people respond to the Light of Christ within, their lives begin to reflect Jesus' peace, integrity, simplicity and moral purity.
