The churches are all over the U.S, but in the northeast- where the main media outlets tend to be, they are very scarce. When driving in New England, you are much more likely to see the United Church of Christ than a (restoration) church of Christ.
I was confused about the United Church of Christ until I finally read the part in the article about Obama's church.
That is where I first heard of the United Church of Christ.
Sure is getting crowded with the many versions of that name.
What really gets me is that these other ones - the International and the United churches of Christ are so far out there and our reputation gets sullied by them.
When I first heard that Obama was 'church of Christ' I was interested until I looked up the beliefs of the "united churches of Christ". Not us in the least.
