The Methodist Church in Great Britain was a Protestant denomination which 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 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 Church (England) to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
