At First Congregational Church, we want to be "continually devoted" to the same activities that the New Testament Church has been practicing from the beginning.

If you are looking for a church home where you can grow spiritually in the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles, worship in Spirit and Truth, enjoy the loving fellowship of other committed Christians, and express your God-given gifts, please consider First Congregational Church of Cresco.

Wherever God leads you, we invite you to join us whenever you can.

May God richly bless you and keep you. ~~ Pastor Tim

Disciple Maker Ministries

Here’s an update on the various Disciple Maker ministries of the church, for those of you who are newcomers, and those who may just need a reminder!

Pastor Tim's Sunday Sermons are online in streaming audio! If you didn't pick up a copy of the cd after church you can come here and listen to it. The sermon outline is also available to download and print.

The Disciple Maker Radio Program - On KCZQ Cresco, 102.3 FM. The Lord has blessed this ministry and it has branched into 2 different programs:

The half-hour program airs on Saturday mornings at 7:30 and again Sunday mornings at 8:00.
The new 5-minute program is on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at approximately 8:05.

The Disciple Maker Bookstore - located at 117 3rd Ave. W, Cresco, in The Harbor (the former Pamida building). The bookstore is filled with resources dedicated to encourage you in your walk with the Lord and to assist in "Making Disciples."

The Disciple Maker Newsletter - This publication, written by Pastor Tim, is coming back! If you have people that you would like put on the mailing list, please submit names and addresses as soon as possible to the church office.

Would you participate by committing these ministries to frequent, earnest prayer? Please pray that we would follow the Lord’s leading in the preparation and administration, and that His kingdom would be strengthened and His people edified through them, and that many would be brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

"To make disciples of Jesus Christ, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that He has commanded us, and experiencing His living presence and power until He returns." ~~ Matthew 28:18-20

Our Vision

To provide the Cresco area with a church full of Christians passionately modeling the life and teachings of Christ, and obeying His command to "Make Disciples". We will pray and wait for God's leading, then join Him in His work. We will provide an environment for presenting each member mature in Christ through Spirit-filled worship, biblical preaching and teaching, Christ-centered fellowship and God-directed service according to spiritual gifts.
