METHODISM IN PANHANDLE
The town of Panhandle became an important stronghold for Methodism in this part of Texas in the late 19th century.
The county's first congregation was the Northern Methodist, established in 1889. It was attended by residents of all faiths. A Southern Methodist congregation was organized in 1903, and both churches served as community gathering places. The two congregations merged in 1919 and eventually became the First United Methodist Church of Panhandle. Methodists in Panhandle have maintained a strong community involvement.
