The Center Point United Methodist Church Historical Marker honors a congregation dating back to 1852 and stands outside the historic 1911 German Gothic-style church building.
Located at 118 Church Street, the Center Point United Methodist Church Historical Marker details the origins of the local Methodist congregation. In 1852, early settler Mrs. Henrietta Rees arranged for circuit riders to visit the area. The congregation's first church was built around 1876, and the current site was purchased in 1883. The marker, dedicated in 1979, provides a brief history of the church's development and its early members.
The marker commemorates the history of the local Methodist congregation, which began in 1852, and the construction of their church buildings, including the current 1911 sanctuary.
The church is an active place of worship. While the historical marker is visible from the exterior, interior access is generally limited to scheduled services and events.
The Texas Historical Commission marker for the Center Point United Methodist Church was dedicated in 1979.
