A Joint conference was held in 1918 in Allahabad.
The churches present in the conference proposed the unity of these denominations, Presbyterian churches and the congregational churches.
In 1970 some of the churches joined the newly constituted Church of Northern India.
In most of the Churches the congregation were ignorant of the new union, no consent of the members were sought and some of the leaders with vested interest gave the decision to join the CNI while some pastors and congregation strongly opposed the union.
Later to counter the apparent centralization of the CNI, some remained in UCNI while some of these churches revived the United Church in Northern India to which they had once belonged.
Eventually more churches withdrew and dissociated from CNI and joined UCNI.
