Our Roots and Connections…
Originally a congregation of Germans in 1875, with roots in the German
Evangelical and Reformed traditions, as well as Lutheran, we became members of
the German Evangelical Church (not to be confused with today’s understanding
of evangelicals). In the 1930’s the Evangelical Church and the Reformed
Church merged to create the Evangelical and Reformed Church—similar in nature
to Presbyterian, Congregational, and Baptist traditions.
In 1957 the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged with the Congregational
Christian Church to be known as the United Church of Christ. We are
Evangelical, Reformed, Congregational, and ecumenical. Our present building
was completed in 1974. Our first structure is now the Town Museum.
The Dexter community is
quickly growing and offers an excellent school system. Dexter still
enjoys a “hometown” feeling with an attractive downtown, while enjoying a
close proximity to Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan.

Who are we?
We are a gathering of
families and individuals ranging from infant to adults. Some are single. Many
are married. Some are widows and widowers. Some are young adults.
We are students,
professionals, business people, teachers, craft persons. We are technicians,
farmers, retirees. We have come together because we share similar beliefs.
We believe in the
responsibility of each person to develop their faith. Our faith is formed by:
Scriptures, beliefs of others, and our personal experience of God.
We believe in God, Jesus
Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church and its mission to serve others. The Lord’s
Supper is a memorial meal to which all people are invited. Baptism is the
initiation into the Christian life.
