On June 28, 1930, the Faithful
Methodist Church was Organized with 11 charter members. A wooden
church, called "The Old Smokehouse Church" was soon build on Hwy 931.
Years later, the Wade Singletary
family donated 5 acres of land to the church. The church was moved
to the property on Hwy 431. A new church was later built at the site,
in 1956. The old church was used for Sunday School classes.
When a new Fellowship Hall and Sunday School building was built (dedicated
Sept. 8, 1963), the old church was dismantled and the lumber given away.
Faithful and other churches
on the circuit built a parsonage in Gonzales. The parsonage was dedicated
on March 20, 1949. Later, in 1972, the Faithful congregation built
its own parsonage.
The church and Fellowship Hall
have been remodeled in recent years, including new windows, carpet, paint,
and flooring.
