This church has actually closed its doors as of June 2009; citing dwindling mebership from 2000 to 100 as the reason. A church in north Dallas, Highland Park Methodist, has taken over the building and will put its contemporary worship center there.

Organized in 1914, this church has served the Munger Place and East Dallas communities with a variety of programs.

Hill, its features include symmetrical side gables, a corner square-plan tower, and unusual window tracery and decorative details.
