United Methodist Church
The
United Methodist Church
(
UMC
) is a
mainline Protestant
Methodist
denomination
. In the 19th century its main predecessor was a leader in
Evangelicalism
. Founded in 1968 by the union of the
Methodist Church (USA)
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. As such, the church's theological orientation is decidedly
Wesleyan
. It embraces both
liturgical
and evangelical elements.
