Four pioneer area families established this congregation about 1854. Early services were conducted in a log cabin on land donated by James Cate for the church, a school and a cemetery. The congregational name was chosen in honor of the Rev. Green Washington Minter (1803-87), who was instrumental in the founding and early growth of the fellowship. Despite hardships, the church became a focal point of the community it served. It was moved here in 1967 when the original location was included within boundaries of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport. (1982) |
