The Wisconsin Conference of the United Church of Christ serves the friends, members, staff and clergy of our 229 congregations across the state. We are a link between the local churches, the four associations in the state and the natinoal United Church of Christ. For more information and resources from the Wisconsin Conference, please visit www.wcucc.org.

The Wisconsin Conference is divided into four associations, each staffed by an association minister. The associations provide direct connectinos to the congregations in the state and help them find and nurture their ministers. The Union-Congregational Church in Waupun is part of the Northeast Association, led by Rev. Art Wille.

The Northeast Wisconsin Association is a gathering of 58 United Church of Christ congregations - from Waupun in the southwest to Sheboygan in the southeast to Marinette in the northeast to Shawano in the northwest to Hancock in the west. The congregations vary in size from 43 members to 1800+ members.

Each congregation is an independent unit, but has a covenantal relationship with the others and with the wider church. The Association assists churches who are seeking pastors, oversees students who are preparing for ministry, is a resource for pastors and congregations, plans various programmatic events, administers a budget (supported by dues from each church), and is a liaison between congregations and the wider church.
