George Street United Church (built 1873) is the oldest Methodist church in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador Designed by Elijah Hoole, it is an example of a modified Gothic Revival church.

Constructed of local stone quarried from the Southside Hills,in St. John's, the entire building is sheathed in concrete. Despite this, many typical Gothic elements remain intact including the pointed arch lancet windows and the large stained glass windows. Furthermore, the interior of this church is architecturally valuable for its well-preserved woodwork. The exposed timber hammerbeam roof of the nave is a typical Gothic element.

The church is designated as a Heritage Structure due to its architectural and historical value.
