Early settlers of Stoneham, established in 1885, attended Methodist services in nearby Plantersville. This congregation was organized in 1885 by 12 members of the Plantersville Church. Services were held in a school and led by circuit riding ministers until 1893, when a frame sanctuary was built here and the Rev. R.W. Adams became the first full-time pastor. In the 1920s the church flourished and supported several youth programs. Due to declining area populations, the church closed in 1940-1945 and 1960-1973. Reactivated in 1973, the church continues to serve the area with various programs. Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845 - 1995.
