when did the methodist church became the united methodist church
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.
