Local residents, representing several faiths, gathered for an outdoor community meeting in 1914 to organize this union church. The sanctuary was constructed by cowboys from area ranches, working under the supervision of W. H. Parker and his brother-in-law Henry Barker. Completed in 1917, the building is known as the Cowboy Church. Since the early days of Barnhart, members of various Christian denominations have worshiped here together.
