This ministry plans, coordinates and carries out the mission ministry of the church in our neighborhood community.  It focuses its attention on enabling the congregation to reach out to others with the message of Jesus Christ and to minister to the physical needs of the poor and disadvantaged.

To coordinate efforts and solicit support to reach out to others, this ministry works closely with the Congregational Care and Global Ministries.  It depends on the congregation’s support through their stewardship, contribution of time to their activities and appeals.

All are welcome here!
No matter who you are, no matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome to be a part of First Congregational Church of Dundee, “The Church on the Hill.”  We are a community of faith united, not by being the same, but by our common journey of faith: loving God and loving our neighbors through worship, service, learning and fellowship.
There’s almost always something happening here!  From birth onward, our programs and ministries are designed to deepen our relationship with God and aid our spiritual growth.  From Mission trips to Worship Services, Sunday School to Seminar Studies, whether you are a life-long Christian or are engaging your faith for the very first time, you will find a place to plug in.  Come and see for yourself how God is at work here, in this place, in us and, perhaps, in you!
In the meantime, this site is meant to give you some glimpses of our life and ministry.  Check out media to watch and read past sermons.  See our children & youth section for information about recent activities and upcoming programs.  And visit our many ministry pages to see how many different ways there are to serve God and one another at FCC.
We hope to see you soon!
