Biographical / Historical

The United Church of Christ was created in 1957 by the merger of two denominations, the Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches. Both of these denominations were, in turn, the result of a union of two churches: The Congregational Churches merged with the Christian Church in 1931, and The Evangelical Synod of North America and the Reformed Church of the United States merged in 1934.
