First Christian Church of Eldon was formed in June 1884 with 19 members and our first pastor, the Reverend Edmund Wilkes. Our first church was located where Salem Cemetery is located, north of Eldon. Our first building was erected in 1889 on a lot west of Maple Street near the Rock Island Depot. Our congregation is affiliated with the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, a body that developed on the American frontier in the early 1800s as a voice for Christian unity. The Disciples Church has a rich heritage of spiritual fellowship, community service, mission outreach and Biblical education. Today FCC of Eldon is 136 years old and going strong with more than 200 members. Our annual events such as the Ham & Bean Dinner and the Salad Luncheon are hugely successful community events. As a family of believers we are inspired by Jesus' example of sacrificial love to serve those around us. We warmly invite you to visit us Sunday morning for worship service at 10:45 a.m.
