Located at 1699 Iowa Street, in the heart of historic downtown Dubuque, our building is both traditional and contemporary, and reflects our commitment to the inclusion of people of all ages, abilities, and mobilities.  The historic church was built in 1885, and the Fellowship purchased the building and adjacent Emerson House in 2004.

Entrances

The main entrance to the sanctuary is accessible on the west side of the building. The access to the Emerson House is also along Iowa Street.

Parking

Street parking is readily available.  For those who need accessible parking, there are two spaces by the Emerson House and two spaces by the Presbyterian Church, on Iowa Street. You may also use the alley as a drop-off/pick-up point.

• Hearing: We have wire loop technology connected to our PA system. During all church meeting and workshops, anyone wishing to speak from the audience is strongly encouraged to use the portable microphones so those who are hard of hearing are not excluded.
• Chemical Sensitivity: We ask that everyone refrain from wearing perfume or scented lotions to be considerate of people’s sensitivities.
• Special Needs Children: If you want your child to participate in the religious education program and feel that they may require special accommodation due to learning disabilities or behavioral issues, please contact us in advance so the best possible arrangements can be made.
