The origins of the Somers United Church of Christ date to a congregation founded in Pike Grove, Wisconsin on December 3, 1839 by Rev. Stephen Peet, an agent of the American Home Missionary Society. Originally known as the Pike Grove Presbyterian Church, the congregation met in a carpenter's shop until 1845 when a building was constructed along the Green Bay Road. Rev. O. F. Curtis served as the church's first pastor from 1839 until 1840. In 1846 the church moved to a new location one mile and a half to the north.
In 1863 a Methodist Episcopal congregation was also established in the vicinity. In 1886 the Presbyterian Church relocated in the Town of Somers, and three years later the Methodist Church also followed the population trend and moved to Somers, then a thriving railroad community.
In 1918 the two congregations merged to become the Somers Federated Church. Three years later the congregation voted to join the Congregational Church and was thereafter known as the First Congregational Church of Somers. Services, however, continued to be held in the old Presbyterian Church until a new building could be constructed in 1949.
In 1963 a change in name to the Somers United Church of Christ reflected the recent national merger of the Congregational and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches. In 1960 a new church was built. Three years later the congregation purchased two acres of land and the old Burr Oak School for use as a recreational facility. In 1966 this became the Christian Youth Center, which served the needs of the church and the community as a whole.
