History :
The Methodist Church was organized in 1875 in Boerne with five members
and
reorganized in 1878 with twenty-nine members. Today there are 1,800 members.
We invite you to share with us the Joy of the opportunity and the place
for
all people to worship together and grow as Christians, to have
fellowship, prayer
very and Bible study, to learn, to teach our Children and
others about the Good News.
The Church's first sanctuary, built in 1879 by one carpenter and volunteer
labor, was the 20 x 40 foot building. First located near the site of the
present old Catholic Church on South Main Street, it was moved on rollers to
this location on James Street in 1900, when the congregation had grown to 100.
In 1920, the original 20 x 40 foot building, then over 40 years old, was
expanded some 15 feet on the north. end and 6 feet on the south end, along with
a bell tower and rooms for Sunday School Classes.
