United Church of Canada The United Church of Canada (French: Ã‰glise unie du Canada) is a mainline Reformed denomination[4] and the largest Protestant Christian denomination in Canada, and the largest Canadian Christian denomination after the Catholic Church.[5] In 2011, Statistics Canada reported approximately 2 million people identifying as adherents.[3] The United Church was founded in 1925 as a merger of four Protestant denominations with a total combined membership of about 600,000 members:[6] the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec, two-thirds of the congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and the Association of Local Union Churches, a movement predominantly of the Canadian Prairie provinces. The Canadian Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church joined the United Church of Canada on January 1, 1968.[7]
Churches of Christ Though not officially recognized as distinct movements until 1906, the separation of the Churches of Christ and the Christian Churches had been taking place gradually for decades.
United Methodist Church The United Methodist Church (UMC) is a mainline Protestant denomination, and a major part of Methodism. In the 19th century, its main predecessor—the Methodist Church—was a leader in Evangelicalism. It was founded in 1968 in Dallas, Texas, United States, by union of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church. The UMC traces its roots back to the revival movement of John and Charles Wesley in England as well as the Great Awakening in the United States.[10][11] As such, the church's theological orientation is decidedly Wesleyan.[12] It embraces both liturgical and evangelical elements.[13][14] It has a connectional polity, a typical feature of a number of Methodist denominations.
