In 1908, the Basis of Union was formulated that would eventually lead to the creation of the United Church of Canada in 1925.

In 1912, a committee of Union Churches approached the national church courts of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational denominations in order to seek affiliation with the parent churches.
