In January, 1978 Edmund W. Robb, III was appointed founding pastor of TWUMC. Since that time, our driving mission has been winning people to Jesus Christ, discipling them in faith, and helping those in need. From the beginning, the church has experienced phenomenal growth, escalating from 76 to over 6,500 in just 28 years!

A number of factors contribute to this success. Foremost is the church’s location in a highly successful master-planned community and the church’s ability to target and meet the needs of the community. TWUMC is known for its innovative and varied programming. Whether it’s operating the town’s most desired preschool, giving students a place to belong, or addressing concerns of parents and senior citizens, the church leads the Montgomery County/North Houston area in offering opportunities for people to improve their lives.

Numbers, bricks, and mortar aside, it is amazing to behold the way the church has grown in Spirit. From a handful of Sunday worshippers, we have become a seven-days-a-week church. From a wandering band of Christians, we have become an equipping station, preparing and sending out servants into every conceivable mission field. Countless families have been touched and forever changed by God’s grace through the ministry of The Woodlands United Methodist Church. Through the course of our 28 years we have seen over 20 men and women answer the call to vocational ministry. Each year we have grown in our expression of support and involvement in Christ’s mission in our community, as well as around the world.

In 2001, we relocated from our Panther Creek location to our present location at 2200 Lake Woodlands Drive.  Once again strapped by physical building constraints, we have begun construction to expand our present building and renovate an adjacent warehouse to allow our ministries to continue in growth.
