Founded in 1901 by Juan Zepeda, Sr., and Vicente Rodriguez, El Buen Pastor Methodist Church held services in members' homes until 1908, when the congregation erected this church building using locally made adobe bricks. A church member built the pulpit and benches, and a bell tower was added in the 1940s. A fine vernacular example of the Gothic revival style of architecture, this church building served the congregation until 1968. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1962
