Jourdanton's Methodist church formally organized in 1909, the same year the city was founded, as the Jourdanton Methodist Episcopal Church, South, a member of the Uvalde District in the West Texas Conference. Its founding members included Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Billingsley, Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Easterling, the W. H. Purgason family, the Carter family, Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Daughtrey, the Richardson family, and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Ernst. In 1909, the congregation's first pastor, Rev. J. W. Shoemaker, served a circuit of churches in Pleasanton, Jourdanton, Campbellton, and Fairview, and other early pastors included Rev. W. N. Carl and Rev. J. N. Rentfro. Services were first held in a tent. In 1910, trustees B. B. Daughtrey, James A. Waltom, and C. B. Myers bought property at Elm Avenue and Brown Street from E. M. and May Tom, and a frame building was constructed there. In 1941, the congregation razed the original structure and built a new one at the same location. It later bought property at Chestnut and Campbell, moved the 1941 sanctuary there in 1957, later sold and removed that sanctuary, and constructed the present sanctuary in 1964. The Jourdanton Methodist Church Ladies Aid Society held its first meeting on March 3, 1910, and later church organizations included the Women's Society of Christian Service, the Wesleyan Service Guild, Epworth League, the United Methodist Women, the United Methodist Men, and Methodist Youth Fellowship.
