1867 Social Club

"The 1867 Social Club was born out of the idea that it is hard to find and make friends in a small town. Friends are important to mental health especially as we age."

In September, 2025 The PNKS Mission Ministry Team approved a Mission Project Grant in the amount of $2866 to support the First Presbyterian Church - Oskaloosa and the opening of the 1867 Social Club. The purpose of this project is to build community, and specifically to provide a place for connection and friendship. Initially, events will be planned once per week from 4-6pm at 101 Jefferson St. in Oskaloosa.

Church members have been working on preparing the building with a new paint job, cleanup and lawn clean-up and repair and other projects. The Grand Opening was held on October 16th with perfect weather and music by the Sunflower Trio. Church and community members enjoyed food and fellowship - just as the project was intended!

We are so pleased and proud of the work by the small and mighty team at FPC Oskaloosa. If you're in the neighborhood, events through the holiday have been scheduled and can be found on the 1867 Social Club Facebook Group.
