The United Methodist Church in Great Britain had no connection with the much larger United Methodist Church in the United States. It was a relatively small grouping of British Methodism, formed in 1907 by the union of the United Methodist Free Churches with two other small groupings, the Bible Christian Church and the Methodist New Connexion.
The United Methodists formed one of the three streams of Methodism then extant in Britain. In 1932 it merged with the Primitive Methodist Church and the Wesleyan Methodist Church to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
