Broad Street United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. This church is one of five on East Broad Street built around the year 1900.[2][3]

It was built in 1885 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The church was designed by Yost & Packard with green serpentine stone. This stone was replaced by Rogers Krajnak Architects with synthetic stone that preserved the original green color.[4]

Broad Street United Methodist Church was the site of the 2016 wedding of openly gay pastor David Meredith and Jim Schlachter.[5]
