History

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.
