Description
This is what the historical marker says: Addicks United Methodist Church:
German immigrants settled in the area surrounding Langham and Bear Creek in the 1840's. In 1879 they established the Bear Creek German United Methodist Church. In the area a small church was erected but the site proved to be poorly drained and often inaccessible.
In 1902 the sanctuary was moved to the corner of Patterson Road and Highway 6. A part of the acreage was laid out as a cemetery. It is still active and maintained today.
A storm in 1915 destroyed the sanctuary but by the end of the year a new church was erected. Area flooding and the construction of the Addicks Reservoir in 1940 caused the church to be moved 1.7 miles south to where it is located today.
In 1968 the congregation changed its name to Addicks United Methodist Church.
