The UMC in Latvia is a district conference within the Baltic Annual Conference, but it functions as an annual conference in practice.

German missionaries introduced Methodism in Latvia in the early 20th century, and it thrived until the Soviet occupation after World War II, when all church work was banned.

When Latvia regained independence in 1991, the Methodist church began anew and managed to retrieve some of the confiscated buildings.
