 The First Congregational United Church of Christ has a long and rich history in the Elmhurst community. It was founded in 1889 in response to a need for an English speaking church in a predominantly German speaking town. The cornerstone for our sanctuary was laid in 1926. Other parts of our church complex were built in 1955 and 1971. The church mortgage has been paid off and a generous endowment fund supports both the physical and spiritual needs of our church.
We are a welcoming church open to all. We currently have about 250 members in our vibrant church community. Reverend Richard Mangnall is the twelfth permanent minister the church has had and joined us in 2006. He leads us in prayer and in our mission work to support one another, our community and the broader world in which we live.
