First United Methodist Church of Jefferson, Texas The history of the First United Methodist Church of Jefferson, Texas, parallels the history of the town of Jefferson.  The city was formed in 1840 and it is likely that Methodist circuit riders were coming to Jefferson by that time.  The earliest record of a preacher coming to our city was in 1844 when the Reverend James Baldridge was appointed to form The Methodist Episcopal Church.  In 1845 there were fifty-three members, including three slaves.
