St. Paul's United Church of Christ
is a member congregation
of the
Iowa Conference of the
United Church of Christ
In 1957 the Congregational Christian Church and the Evangelical and Reformed Church united to form a new denominatin, the United Church of Christ. This union brought together the oldest denomination entirely born in the United States, the Congregational Christian Church and a denomination that, while uniquely American in spirit, also had solid roots in old Europe.
The United Church of Christ celebrated it's 50th birthday in 2007. As one person put it, a church only 50 years old and yet over 400 years old, rooted deeply in the early church set forth by none other that Jesus the Christ.
