The Provincial Church Union Committee was formed on July 26, 1923, by representatives of the Saskatchewan Methodist Conference and the Presbyterian Synod of Saskatchewan to take preliminary steps to effect Church Union in Saskatchewan. Representatives of the congregational Churches were also invited to be on the committee.

The Joint Committee officially convened in April 1904, in Toronto, bringing together appointed representatives from the Congregationalist, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches, to negotiate church union. Meetings continued through to 1908, when the terms written in the Basis of Union were agreed upon and sent to the negotiating churches, for discussion and approval. By 1912, both the Congregationalists and the Methodists had agreed to the terms. The decision was more contentious for the Presbyterian Church, though in 1916, their General Assembly decided to go ahead with the union.
Between 1916 and 1925, the Joint Committee worked to complete the union and defeat those opposing it, including the newly formed Presbyterian Church Association.

The Methodist Church of Canada was established in 1874, with the union of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada, the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Eastern British America, and the Methodist New Connexion Church. In 1883, a United General Conference was held a year before the union of the Methodist Church of Canada with the Methodist Episcopal, the Primitive Methodist, and the Bible Christian Churches to form the Methodist Church (Canada) in 1884.

In 1925, the Methodist Church in Canada joined with several other Protestant denominations to become the United Church of Canada.
