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.
