Churches in the United Church of Christ (UCC) work together in many settings. Some of these relate to geography.

UCC churches in the state of New York work together in the New York Conference whose website is http://www.uccny.org.

Regional Conference Minister Michael Caine, in his 2/1/07 pre-sabbatical letter, praises the Suffolk and Metro Associations for their contributions to Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM) and gives us contact information to use during his sabbatical - February 2 - June 2, 2007.

Choirs from Suffolk and Metro churches gathered on Saturday evening, November 4, 2006, for a Music Extravaganza to launch the celebration of the UCC's 50^th Birthday. The celebration theme is "Let It Shine!"

Over seventy persons from the Suffolk and Metro Associations attended the 43^rd Annual Meeting of the New York Conference held at Silver Bay, NY June 9 - 11, 2006.

Within the state are smaller geographic groupings called Associations. In the southeastern part of New York State are the Suffolk Association ( Suffolk County ) and the Metropolitan (Metro) Association ( New York City and its suburbs). Together these Associations compose the Southeastern Region whose Regional Conference Minister is Michael W. Caine.

On November 19, 2005 the Suffolk and Metropolitan Associations gathered for their joint Fall Meetings/Retreat at Garden City Community Church.
