Hus Memorial Presbyterian Chr
Churches in Cedar Rapids, IA
The following is a brief history of our church. The origins of Hus Memorial Presbyterian Church are found in the Christian fellowship of Bohemian Protestant pioneers, who met regularly for worship over a 40 year period, despite the lack of a trained clergy. In 1874, Cedar Rapids manufacturer, T. M. Sinclair, allowed Czech Evangelicals of the city to suit in his box factory. Three years later, he built Hope Mission Chapel on a hill behind St. Wenceslaus Church. Sunday School was conducted in English and worship in Czech in those early services.

About Us
read moreWorship at Hus Church is contemporary with traditional elements blended in. Our goal is to be more inspirational rather than fit a particular style of worship. In the spirit of the teachings of John Hus, the 15th century reformer and martyr for whom this church is named, we do emphasize an open time of sharing with the frequent celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Sunday morning service is approximately 70 to 75 minutes in length. People are encouraged to get up or sit down when they need to, while being thoughtful of those persons nearby.
