About Stoneham Methodist Church
The Stoneham Methodist congregation was organized in 1885 by twelve members from the Plantersville church, meeting in a local school until a frame sanctuary was built in 1893. The church flourished in the 1920s with youth programs but closed from 1940 to 1945 and 1960 to 1973 amid declining population. It was reactivated in 1973 and resumed serving the community.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Stoneham Methodist Church
Early settlers of Stoneham, established in 1885, attended Methodist services in nearby Plantersville. This congregation was organized by 12 members of the Plantersville Church in 1885. 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 Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5185008619
