Union Christian Church is one of the approximately 6,500 independent Christian Churches in the country, primarily in the mid - west.  The “Christian Church” is an effort to restore the church to the simple and pure form of the first 100 years after the life of Christ as recorded in the New Testament.  What is so unique about this group is that there is no denominational head over these churches.  Each congregation is self - governing and has Christ as its head.
