​​our roots

On May 12, 1839, Rev. James Clark of the Congregational Home Missionary Society gathered 5 men and 14 women together into a new congregation that would be called First Congregational Church of Dubuque.  Originally, worship was held in the Old Stone Church across from Washington Park on Locust St.  Following the Congregational tradition, each member, then as now, has a vote in the affairs of the local church without any outside dictates or constraints. Read about our historic roots here. ​
