The United Church of Christ was formed from the merger in 1957 of the Congregational Christian Church and the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Subsequently, on April 17, 1963, the Michigan Congregational Conference and the Michigan-Indiana Synod of the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged to form the Michigan Conference of the United Church of Christ.
The Congregational churches of Michigan were organized into a State Association on October 11, 1842. Previously, in May 1840, the Eastern Association and Conference had been organized for the southeastern portion of the state; in 1841, the Marshall Conference (later Olivet Conference) was established, followed by the Jackson Conference in May 1842. Church leaders at the time believed that if the church was ever to become strong and efficient in the state it would need a state-wide association. The formal name of the new organization was the General Association of the Congregational Ministers and Churches of Michigan.
