History of our church

In 1990, talks began with Pecan Springs Christian Church and Trinity United Church of Christ to merge congregations as part of the ecumenical partnership between the UCC and DOC churches. The newly-formed "United Christian Church" first met on October 6, 1991, in the Trinity UCC building. Eventually, the two individual church properties were sold, the land on Parmer Lane was purchased, and the current building was built. This was a 10-year process. The first Sunday service at 3500 West Parmer Lane was September 9, 2001.

Church founded

​United Christian Church was founded in 1991 when Trinity United Church of Christ and Pecan Springs Christian Church merged.

Building built

The Parmer Lane building was completed in 2001, and the first service held was a prayer vigil on Wednesday, September 12, 2001 in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks. 

Became O&A

United Christian Church passed our first Open and Affirming statement in 2007. It was further updated in 2012.

Added children's wing

We added our beautiful children's wing to the original building in 2007. We are so proud to have these four dedicated spaces for our vibrant children's ministry. 

Adopted stances

The congregation unanimously approved the current mission statement, values, and vision on May 30, 2012.

Playground built

After many years of dreaming, planning, and fundraising, we hand-built our custom playground in 2022.

Come be a part of our future!
