First Methodist Church of Floydada

Methodism in Floyd County began in the 1880s, before Floydada was founded and before the county was formally organized, when circuit riding preachers ministered to pioneer settlers at Della Plain and occasional worship services were held in J. S. McLain's general store. After the county was organized in 1890 and Floydada became the county seat, the Northwest Conference of the Methodist Church established a congregation there, first served by The Rev. W. F. Ford, with members worshiping in the local schoolhouse. In 1902 a community church was built in the 300 block of N. Main Street, and although it was legally owned by the Methodists, other denominations in town also used the sanctuary. The building was moved to this site in 1913 and was replaced by a red brick structure in 1918. As the congregation grew, plans were made for larger facilities, and new buildings were erected beginning in 1953 as the red brick church was eventually razed. For more than one hundred years, the First Methodist Church of Floydada has served the community through worship, educational, and outreach programs.
