Windsor Congregational Christian Church has a covenantal relationship with the United Church of Christ (UCC) whose Headquarters are in Cleveland, Ohio. The UCC was founded in 1957 with the merger of two denominations with very similar theology and church polity, the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches.

Characteristics:

The characteristics of the United Church of Christ can be summarized in part by the key words in the names of the four denominations that formed our union: Christian, Reformed, Congregational, Evangelical.

• Christian. By our very name, the United Church of Christ, we declare ourselves to be a part of the body of Christ - the Christian church. We continue the witness of the early disciples to the reality and power of the crucified and risen Christ, Jesus of Nazareth.
• Reformed. All four denominations arose from the tradition of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformers: We confess the authority of one God. We affirm the primacy of the Scriptures, the doctrine of justification by faith, the priesthood of all believers, and the principle of Christian freedom. We celebrate two sacraments: baptism and the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion.
• Congregational. The basic unit of the United Church of Christ is the congregation. Members of each congregation covenant with one another and with God as revealed in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit. These congregations, in turn, exist in covenantal relationships with one another to form larger structures for more effective work. Our covenanting emphasizes trustful relationships rather than legal agreements.
• Evangelical. The primary task of the church is the proclamation of the gospel, or evangel - the good news of God's love revealed with power in Jesus Christ. We proclaim this gospel by word and deed to individual persons and to society. This proclamation is the heart of the liturgia - the work of the people. We gather each Sunday for the worship of God, and through each week, we engage in the service of humankind.
  
  WHAT WE BELIEVE
  
  We hold the Holy Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God and the primary source of our understanding the good news concerning Jesus Christ and the foundations of faith. Our motto is from a prayer of Jesus (John 17:21) "That they may all be one." We believe that all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior are united in faith and fellowship as the Holy Spirit leads us. We hold to two sacraments that are sacred to Christians all over the world, Baptism and Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper.
