What denomination is the church affiliated with?
The United Church is affiliated with both The United Church of Christ and The United Methodist Church. In 1975, Concordia United Church of Christ and Union United Methodist Church merged into The United Church. Concordia German Evangelical Church (Deutsche Concordia-Kirche) formed in 1833 to serve the growing German immigrant community in Washington, DC. In 1845, Union Methodist Episcopal Church was formed by Methodists located a mile east in order to better serve what are today the Foggy Bottom and West End neighborhoods. The congregation now meets in the former Concordia church building.
