First Congregational Church is part of the Congregational family of churches in The American Church Story. 106 congregations of the Congregational family gather across Iowa — 2,930 across the United States on The Church Map.

Their conviction that a gathered congregation can govern itself under Christ is now shared by most churches in the country.
