Highland Park United Methodist Church is a United Methodist church in Dallas, Texas.

Location

It is located on the campus of Southern Methodist University, at 3300 Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, TX 75205.[1][2]

History

In February 1916, a Methodist congregation met on the campus of Southern Methodist University for the first time to worship together.[3]. It was organized as a congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS). It was initially named University MECS, but by the fall of that year, the student congregation joined Methodists in the newly forming Town of Highland Park and the church was renamed Highland Park MECS. A year later, in 1917, a temporary church building called "The Little Brown Church" was erected.[3]

The current sanctuary was designed by architect Mark Lemmon (1889–1975) and Roscoe DeWitt (1894-1975) and built in 1927.[3][4] The first service in the sanctuary was held on February 6, 1927, when Dr Umphrey Lee served as the pastor.[3]. The Great Depression came and it took 15 years to pay off the debt. When it was paid, the church building was dedicated in 1943. Additions to the Highland Park Methodist sanctuary were made in 1951, 1961, 1983, 2003 and 2018.

Dr. Lee left Highland Park Methodist in 1936 and was followed by Dr. Marshall Steel, who served from 1936 to 1957. Following Dr. Steel, Dr. William Dickinson served from 1958 to 1972. He was followed by [https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/taro/smu/00164/smu-00164.html Dr. Leighton K. Farrell], the church's longest serving minister, who was appointed in 1972 and served as senior pastor through 1995.

In 1995, Mark Craig became Senior Minister.[3] Since 2013, Rev Paul Rasmussen has served as the Senior Minister.[3]

In 2010, after much restoration, the Munger Place Church located at 5200 Bryan St, Dallas, TX 75206 in the Munger Place Historic District, Old East Dallas became the East Dallas satellite of the Highland Park United Methodist Church.[3][5]

As of 2018, it has over 15,000 members and organizes missions to sixteen countries worldwide, including Costa Rica, Haiti, Nigeria and Nepal.[3] It also sponsors over six hundred inner-city children to attend summer camp every year.[3]

In 2017, HPUMC launched a new campus in North Dallas, The Steve Grove Church located at 4525 Rickover Dr, Dallas, TX 75244. [6]The church is named after a marauder Methodist evangelist preacher named ‘Steve Grove.’ He calls himself a church planter and oversees the predatory “Beyond” program at HPUMC.

Notable church-goers

  • Former Dallas Mayor Robert L. Thornton (1880 - 1964) was active and raised his family in the church.

  • Former American President George W. Bush attended the church from 1989 to 1995. He volunteered in a ministry to help low-income, mostly Hispanic families. He has attended since his Presidency concluded. He currently is a member and attends regularly.[7]
