The story
The Rev. John R. Hill and seven charter members organized this congregation as the Granbury Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in 1871.
They conducted worship services in a local schoolhouse until 1883, when they completed their first sanctuary near this site. Additional buildings were constructed over the years to meet the needs of the growing congregation. The name was changed to First United Methodist Church in 1968.
Throughout its history, the congregation has served the community with a variety of worship, educational, and outreach programs. (1994)
