About This Location
**Jasper County Church of Christ – Church of Christ in Newton, IA**
Located in south-central Iowa, Newton serves as the county seat of Jasper County and offers a distinctive blend of industrial heritage and small-town community spirit. This city of approximately 15,000 residents is perhaps best known as the former headquarters of Maytag Corporation, which shaped the community’s character for over a century before relocating operations.
The Jasper County Church of Christ serves this tight-knit community where neighbors know each other and local businesses form the backbone of daily life. Newton’s downtown area features historic architecture and local shops, while the community takes pride in its well-maintained parks and recreational facilities. The annual Maytag Days celebration reflects the city’s appreciation for its manufacturing roots and community connections.
For visitors and those considering relocation, Newton provides easy access to Des Moines, located just 30 miles to the west via Interstate 80, making it an attractive option for those seeking small-town living with metropolitan convenience. The area offers affordable housing, quality schools, and a lower cost of living compared to larger urban centers.
Churches of Christ throughout Iowa maintain their commitment to New Testament Christianity and biblical worship practices. The congregation in Newton welcomes both long-time residents and newcomers to the community, providing a place of worship that emphasizes scripture-based teaching and fellowship in this historically rich Iowa community.
