About First United Methodist
First United Methodist Church of Columbus is one of the earliest Protestant congregations in Texas, founded in Austin's Original Colony with roots tracing back to 1824 when Methodist Circuit Rider Rev. Henry Stephenson first preached in the area. The current church building was completed in July 1897 and stands as a testament to the Methodist movement's deep history in Texas. Under the leadership of Senior Pastor Sunshine Reyes, the congregation welcomes visitors with relaxed services and emphasizes spiritual growth through Christian acts of love, education, worship, and service. The church is actively engaged in community outreach, including a Wesley Nurse program that collaborates with local health clinics and serves underserved populations. Located in Columbus, described as the "Home of Live Oaks and Live Folks," the church embodies the vibrant hospitality characteristic of this small-town community situated conveniently between Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
