The Kansas Oklahoma Conference of the United Church of Christ is made up of approximately 53 congregations throughout Kansas and Oklahoma, with 6,076 members across our two states.

The Kansas Oklahoma Conference is politically active, rising to the challenge of our times in middle America with a strong voice for inclusivity and justice. As pastors and members, our conference is well represented in the political landscape, and we have the first Latina Conference Minister in the UCC.

The UCC's response to the demands of our faith is woven into the history of our nation, and we carry this legacy forward in the Kansas Oklahoma Conference!

This Year’s KO VIRTUAL Annual Meeting will be November 7-8, 2025.
