History

First United Methodist Church of Junction was founded November 16, 1881, by the West Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Methodist Missionaries had served the region since 1859 but there was no organized Methodist Society until 1876. The Methodist Society in Junction was served by Rev. W.T. Thornberry (1877-1879) then by Rev. Andrew Jackson Potter (1879-1881) as part of their mission region prior to the church receiving its 1881 charter.
