The church sanctuary is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a historical marker here provides some background:
The history of this church can be traced to 1854, when eleven charter members gathered together in a private home west of Lone Oak to organize a Methodist congregation. Occasionally served by circuit riding ministers, the members constructed a church building in 1871 which they shared with the local Masonic lodge. Continued growth and the loss of the first building in an 1884 fire led to the construction of this vernacular Gothic Revival structure in 1889, featuring twin bracketed towers and lancet windows. It continues to serve the congregation.
