Conferences of the United Church of Christ
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 38 Conferences in the United Church of Christ. Most of these consist of associations and all consist of congregations, formally known as "Local Churches."
Puerto Rico was the 39th conference; prior to its affiliation with the Congregational Christian Churches in the 1930s, it was an independent synod/denomination. On June 10, 2006, this conference withdrew from the UCC [1].
