Prior to the construction of the first church building in 1872, the Methodist congregation met in a structure owned by the Masonic Lodge of Calvert. The first sanctuary was a beautiful fiame structure with a high steeple, and equally beautiful stained glass windows. The second church, 'Sneed Memorial Methodist Church', was built in 1923, and the structure was dedicated to the glory of God and named in memory of one of the early circuit riders of Texas, the Rev. Joseph P. Sneed.
