First Lutheran Church is part of the Lutheran family of churches in The American Church Story. 840 congregations of the Lutheran family gather across Iowa — 15,755 across the United States on The Church Map.

That the church is saved by grace through faith, and that the whole assembly sings, are now the inheritance of nearly every Protestant church in America.
