From the Church website:
The first services of the University Church, the forerunner of HPUMC, were held in February 1916 on the SMU campus. Within months, the church changed its name, when Methodist families in Highland Park agreed to transfer their membership to the university congregation.
Construction of the present building began in 1926, during the ministry of Dr. Umphrey Lee. Inspired by his dream of a campus cathedral, the congregation authorized plans rich in gothic detail. The dream became a reality when members gathered on Sunday, February 6, 1927, for the first formal service of worship in the new sanctuary.
In 1995, HPUMC welcomed Mark Craig as Senior Minister. He oversees a staff of more than 100 and is only the 10th pastor to have served this church in 90 years. Under his leadership, the congregation has grown to over 13,000 members. Many new ministries and missions, such as Night Owls and Carpenters for Christ, have been formed to support causes that Rev. Craig is passionate about. We now offer five types of worship opportunities on the same campus.
