| | United Church of Christ in Indiana |
 | | The United Church of Christ, however, was formed by the merger of four denominations with a long and vital history in early Indiana - the Christian Church and the Congregational Church as well as two predominantly German faiths, the Evangelical Church and the Reformed Church. |
 | | The English-speaking segment of the church was concentrated in the southern half of the state. |
 | | When the merger of the Congregational Christian Church and the Evangelical and Reformed was accomplished in 1957, it was the strength of the German church that gave it such a strong presence in Indiana. |
