No. Predestination is not part of Methodist doctrine and is not believed by most Methodists.
The dispute that led to the founding of the African Methodist episcopal church was the doctrine of segregation. When St. George's Methodist church was segregated, it triggered the dispute.
The doctrine of predestination is mostly associated with Calvinism, and the rejection of Calvinist doctrines of predestination is called "Arminianism." John Wesley was the most influential leader who preached Arminian doctrines and his theology spread through the Methodist movement. So denominations with roots in the Methodist movement (anything with "Methodist" or "Wesleyan" in its name, plus some others) generally do not preach predestination.

Part of a Proper Noun: I am a member of The United Methodist Church. I was born at Methodist Hospital. Adjective: That is a Methodist church. Prevenient grace is a distinctive belief of Methodist theology. John Wesley is the founder of the Methodist movement. I was born at a Methodist hospital.

You abbreviate United Methodist Church with UMC. There is not an abbreviation for Methodism.
Free Methodists are an offshoot of Methodism. Free Methodist is not the same as United Methodist.
