About Saint John's UCC
St. John’s United Church of Christ has a long history, including the origins of the church in Eagle Valley near Fountain City, WI. St. John’s Church entered a shared covenant in 2021 with Hope UCC, and Pastor Deb Kunkel serves both churches. In 1870 the Swiss and German pioneers in Eagle Valley organized Emmanuel Evangelical and Reformed church. The congregation initially met in homes. In the late 1870’s while raising funds to build a church, worship services were held in the nearby Eagle Valley Public school.The first church was built and dedicated in 1892, located about 7 miles from Fountain City. A tornado in 1903 destroyed the wood frame church, and two years later was rebuilt using brick construction. Worship in Eagle Valley continued until 1949 when the dwindling congregation joined with St. John’s in Fountain City. St. John’s Evangelical and Reformed congregation was organized in 1886 in Fountain City, and the church was built the following year. The same pastor served both Eagle Valley and St. John’s. After the Eagle Valley congregation joined St. John’s in 1949, the growing membership and attendance resulted in building a new church in Fountain City in 1952.
An educational wing was added to the church in 1968. Major remodeling of the sanctuary and a lift added for accessibility was completed in 1997. The Church in Eagle Valley was historically preserved and donated to St. John’s in 2003. Friends of Eagle Valley Community Church, an independent ecumenical committee, manages its use and maintains the restoration. As it is now named, this Community Church is available for any church to use for worship services, memorials, or weddings. In 2011 a pavilion with tables was added on the church grounds to accommodate gatherings of church or family.

The Cochrane-Fountain City Area Food Shelf of St. John's Church believes that having 3 meals a day is a human right, no matter their circumstances. Unfortunately too many in our area experience periods where food insecurity is part of their daily life. When this happens, we want to help. We serve all residents of Buffalo County. (Your statement of) residency in this area is our only requirement to receive assistance.
We are located at 303 South Hill Street in Fountain City, at St. John’s Church. There are no religious requirements to use our pantry; our faith tells us that Jesus didn’t turn away people, so we don’t either. We are also handicapped accessible. All who are currently needing assistance are welcome. Residents can come twice a month. If you have a food emergency between those times, or would like to donate to our pantry, please call church and leave a message at 608.687.3277. The C-FC Area Food Shelf will not be open on holidays.
