Six individual met on September 23, 1882 to create The Methodist Episcopal Church South, the forerunner of the First United Methodist Church of Del Rio.

This church is the congregation's third church. The growth of the city and the opening of Laughlin Air Force Base facilitated the enlargement of the membership to more than nine hundred during the 1960s. In 1968, The Methodist Church and Evangelical United Brethren church merged into The United Methodist Church.
