First Methodist Protestant Church of Seattle, Methodist church in Capitol Hill, Seattle, United States

The First Methodist Protestant Church is a building in Capitol Hill that combines Colonial Revival and Gothic Revival architectural styles. The structure sits on 16th Avenue East and displays the design characteristics typical of early 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture in the city.

The congregation was founded by Rev. Daniel Bagley in 1865 and met in several buildings in downtown Seattle before this Capitol Hill church was built in 1906. Downtown, it was known as the "Little Brown Church" to distinguish it from the Methodist Episcopal congregation, the "Little White Church." When the two Methodist denominations merged in 1939, the congregation took the name Capitol Hill Methodist, and it left the building in 1991.

Before the 1906 buildings, the two Methodist congregations meeting downtown were told apart by nicknames: the Methodist Episcopal church was the "Little White Church" and the Methodist Protestant one the "Little Brown Church". In 1939, when the two denominations merged, this congregation took the name Capitol Hill Methodist; a later merger added "United".

The building is now privately owned and operates as office space, so interior access may be limited for casual visitors. It is best to view the exterior architecture or check ahead if interior visits are possible.

Before the 1906 buildings went up, both downtown Methodist congregations were told apart by nicknames: the Methodist Episcopal one was the "Little White Church" and the Methodist Protestant one the "Little Brown Church". The Capitol Hill building inherited the brown church's congregation, not the 1853 one.
