The National United Methodist Church, formerly known as Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church, is a United Methodist congregation in the Wesley Heights neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Designated as the national church of the United Methodist Church, the building complex occupies a 6-acre campus adjoining the American University, comprising a church structure and administrative building.
The congregation was founded in 1838, as Union Bethel (Metropolitan) A. M. E. Church. In 1880, John W. Stevenson was appointed by Bishop Daniel Payne to be pastor of the church for the purpose of building a new church, which would become Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. The cornerstone was laid in September, 1881.
Due to discrimination the church was forced to move, and had a hard time finding a permanent place. During this period during the spring and summer of 1969 the church moved first to the Embassy Auditorium, and then a United Methodist Church for two weeks. The church ended up renting out the Encore Theatre in Hollywood from 1969 through 1971.
