Consulting Ministry
Even though Testify Church of Christ has its own vision and mission for its ministries, we also praise the diversity offered to many Christians across this region and nation. So in keeping with the non-denominational and ecumenical stance of this congregation, we endeavor to be “Christians only” by supporting a church consulting ministry that assists other congregations with their own specific mission and ministry vision.
If you are a congregation and could use support in strategic planning, organizational efficiency, fiscal management, educational programming, resource research, leadership administration, or conflict absolution, please click on the link below to find out more information:

Community Ministry
While good leadership in the church is important to the health of any congregation, so also is leadership in the community. Therefore, Testify Church of Christ rejoices in having a Community Minister who directs us and leads us in service opportunities for the community. A church is only as strong as the community is resides in; so of paramount importance is to serve our community. Thus, we have we have taken upon ourselves the task of testifying to God’s love through community service opportunities.
Below are links to some of the organizations that our congregation supports:
Hope Ministries
Komen For The Cure
Meals From The Heartland
Des Moines Area Religious Council
Testify donates over 22% of its annual contributions to non-profit orgaizations, charities, and various ministries.
In 2009 alone, Testify donated over 5% of its annual contributions and over 50 pounds of fresh produce to Des Moines Area Religious Council. It also donated over 10% of its annual contributions and many hours of service to Meals From The Heartland. These examples show our dedication to those homeless and in poverty in our own back yard and throughout the world.
Sudanese Ministry
Testify is proud to help sponsor a Sudanese ministry. 

Many in Sudan are the victims of a war-torn
country that has seen its government abandon those in desperate need of food, medicine, and education. Testify has given several bibles, supplies, and over 10% of its annual contributions towards the effort of building a new schoolhouse and medical clinic in southern Sudan near the city of Wau.
The new school will be a place where children can escape the rape, pillaging, and terrorism that surrounds them. They will be able to receive food, medicine, and a Christian education through this school. Their old facility, like most facilities in rural Sudan, is made out of dirt and straw. If you would like to support this effort please contact us and we can put you in contact with the local missionary who runs this ministry in Sudan.
Wellness Ministry
The Wellness Minister works with the church staff and members to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle. This healthy lifestyle includes taking care of the Body God gave us. Medical studies have shown that there is an obesity epidemic in the U.S. and unfortunately this epidemic is also rampant within the churches. In order to combat the spread of this disease our church has offered to the entire community the Wellness Class which focuses on fitness training direction and nutrition advice. Of course, as a ministry of the church it endeavors to show love to everyone despite their physical and spiritual condition.
Encouragement Ministry
This ministry tries to help encourage those who have excelled or achieved a great milestone spiritually as well as encourage those are struggling spiritually and physically. There are many in the world who suffer from some sort of ailment and we want those people to know that they are not alone and that whatever trials they are facing in life, Testify will be a place of healing for them.
Fellowship Ministry
Connecting with people and being a unified body of believers in Christ Jesus begins with fellowship. As such, we have an active fellowship ministry that attempts to show the love of Jesus to all who attend its events, occasions, and gatherings. In coordination with the Fellowship Minister our church actively plans opportunities for fellowship.
