It was formed in 1968[1] by merging the efforts of the London Missionary Society (operating exclusively in Papua),[2] the relatively marginal Presbyterian church (largely confined to Port Moresby itself) and the Methodist mission (largely operating in New Guinea and nearby islands, the western and northern Solomons and the islands of eastern Papua).
Since 1996, there is a United Church in Papua New Guinea and a separate United Church in Solomon Islands.[3]
