This congregation began as a mission in 1880, the same year Archer City was organized. Its earliest pastors, including the Rev. D.D. Duncan and the Rev. I.N. Crutchfield, were circuit riders who also served neighboring counties. Members of Archer City Methodist Church constructed their first sanctuary in 1889 and built new facilities in later years as their numbers grew. The church became a full-time, self-supporting member of the North Texas Conference in 1912. Throughout its history, the congregation has provided significant service to the community.
