Urban Heights Evangelical Covenant Church was founded in 1885. This church's stated mission is to help the local faithful better navigate their "journey with Christ." The church engages with the community through a number of missions, like local food and charity drives, as well as tornado victim relief efforts.
Timberline Church is centrally located in Urbandale; the staff says the focus is on deepening its congregation's personal relationships with Christ. The church is involved in a number of charitable missions, one of the most notable being its mission of earthquake relief in Haiti.
Gospel Assembly has been serving the Urbandale community for decades. In addition to its local charity works, the church performs its mission through the operation of its school on the same site.
