History
The Early ChurchAll Christians are related in faith to Judaism and are faith descendants of the
first apostles of Jesus who roamed the world with the good news of God's love |
Our Reformation RootsIn 1517, the German monk, university teacher, and preacher, Martin Luther nailed 95 theses of protest against certain doctrines and practices (such as the sale
of indulgences) of the Roman Church to the door of the Wittenberg cathedral. |

Church, 23 years old, passionate in its impulse to unity, committed to "liberty of conscience inherent in the Gospel," and the Congregational Christian Churches, 26 years old, a fellowship of biblical people under a mutual covenant for responsible freedom in Christ, joined together as the United Church of Christ. |
