About Cooks Point United Methodist Church
This Methodist congregation organized in 1881 to serve German-speaking settlers in Burleson County, largely through the efforts of Anna Duewall, with Reverend Jacob Ott as first pastor. Members worshipped in homes, as the German Methodist Church, until a sanctuary was built in 1883. The congregation adopted the name Cooks Point in the 1940s and continued serving the rural community.
