First Friends Church is part of the Friends (Quaker) family of churches in The American Church Story. 5 congregations of the Friends (Quaker) family gather across Iowa — 355 across the United States on The Church Map.

Friends were ahead of the whole church on abolition, on prison reform, and on the ministry of women, and they were ahead at real cost. Their practice of waiting on God together in silence is what the rest of the body borrows when words have run out.
