First United Methodist Church

First United Methodist Church
of Wichita Falls


This congregation, the first to be
organized in Wichita Falls, began in
March 1881 at the home of Alfred
H. Harris with F. O. Miller as pastor.
Six charter members held services
in a log schoolhouse and later in
the courthouse. Two sanctuaries
were erected to serve the growing
membership before this building
was completed in 1928. Designed by
Houston architect William Ward
Watkin, the building features
Gothic Revival styiling.
