United Church of Christ

The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination formed in 1957 from the merger of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches. It values theological diversity, social justice, and the autonomy of local congregations, operating as a "united and uniting" church that emphasizes inclusivity and ecumenism. The UCC has roots in various traditions, including Congregationalists, Reformed, Evangelical, and Christian Churches. It supports a range of social justice initiatives, including civil rights, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and environmental stewardship. The denomination provides theological resources, such as worship guides and study materials, and engages in ecumenical work with global organizations. Local congregations maintain self-governance while participating in a representative governance structure that includes regional associations and a General Synod. The UCC actively welcomes marginalized groups and fosters partnerships with churches worldwide.
