United Church of Christ

The United Church of Christ is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination primarily in the Reformed tradition, in historical continuation of the General Council of Congregational Christian churches founded under the influence of New England Puritanism."

These two denominations, which were themselves the result of earlier unions, had their roots in Congregational, Christian, Evangelical, and Reformed denominations.
