United Evangelical Church in Puerto Rico

The church was founded on January 28, 1931, in Fajardo as a result of the union of the Congregational Church, the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Christian Church.^[1]

In January 1990 it became a conference of the United Church of Christ;^[2] however in 2006 the Puerto Rican Conference dissolved all relations with the UCC due to differing views on LGBT issues.^[3] In 2006 it had 61 congregations and 42 house fellowships.^[4][5]

In 2023 the denomination is part of the Latin American Council of Churches.^[6] It is also part of the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico.^[7]

The denomination has links to mainland US through its partnership with the First Church in New Hampshire.^[8]
