About Us

Agudas Achim Congregation is a dynamic, creative, and welcoming Jewish community with a rich history in Eastern Iowa. We are community-minded and caring, offering a spiritual home for Jews of all generations, interfaith families, LGBTQ+ members, and those exploring or embracing Judaism.

Dual-affiliated with Reform and Conservative Judaism, our services blend music (both contemporary and traditional), meaningful worship, and Hebrew ritual. Our members are curious, engaged, and committed to lifelong learning. We offer a friendly, personalized Sunday School experience that nurtures Jewish connection and socialization for children.

As a community, we celebrate sacred time, live Jewish values through compassionate action, and cultivate meaningful connections. We embrace a diversity of perspectives on Israel. Our mission is to honor each person’s unique Jewish journey.
