 UCCP HISTORY

UCCP was organized at Pekin, New York, in 1860. The founders had been members
of the UCCP but were excluded from its membership for too earnestly advocating
movement what they saw as the doctorines and usages of authentic Wesleyan
Methiodism. Under the leadership of the Rev. Benjamin Titus (B.T.) Roberts, a
Graduate of Wesleyan University and an able and eloquent preacher, the spread
rapidly. Societies were organized, churches built and the work established.

At the 1910 session of the General Conference of full acknowledgement was made
of the wrong done to Roberts fifty years before, and th credentials unjustly taken
from him were restored in public meeting to his son, Rev. Benson Roberts. Before
the founding of the church, Roberts began publiction of a monthly journal. A
publishing house was established in 1886 to produced books, periodicals and
Sunday school curriculum and literature. The name was restrained for the newly
organized church because th founders felt that their misfortunes had come to
them because of their adherence to doctorines and standards. The new church
hoped for the freedom of worship in the Holy Spirit, as opposed to a stifling
formality.A fourth principle was “freedom”from secret and oathbound societies.
Fifth was “freedom” from abuse of ecclesiastical authority. Finally was “freedom”
to experience transformation in sanctification via the Holy Spirit due to personal
consecration and faith versus just ‘sin-management’ or gradual growth following
justification.
