Staples UMC Celebrates a Century of Faith and Fellowship
Faith, Fellowship, Food Family Fun, May 18, 11:30-3:00, 9760 FM 621, Staples TX. In 2025, Staples United Methodist Church in eastern Guadalupe County marks the 100th anniversary of its founding. The church sits on 9760 FM 621, Staples TX. UMC’s history mirrors that of the town itself. Early congregations met in nearby Cottonwood, 1875, and Pleasant Ridge, 1880, before the building the first church on Main Street in 1901. By the 1920s the tiny frame church was too small, so trustees under Rev. A. Guyon commissioned the handsome brick sanctuary that still stands today. One longtime member put it simply: “Staples UMC is like family- we take care of each other.”
