Wylie in Collin County, Texas — The American South (West South Central)
Wylie Methodist Church
Settlers in the pioneer community of Nickleville (later renamed Wylie) held worship services in a schoolhouse built by William H. Lee. By 1887, land was purchased for a new sanctuary and the first Wylie Methodist Church was built. It was replaced by a brick structure at this site in 1924.
Served in its early years by circuit-riding ministers, including the Rev. Jacob B. Minnis, Wylie United Methodist Church has been a part of Collin County history for more than a century. The St. Paul Methodist Congregation merged with Wylie Methodist in 1946, and together the members continue to serve the community with a variety of programs.
Erected 1994 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 6223.)
