Wheatland
United Methodist Church
has served the southwest Dallas County area including Oak Cliff,
DeSoto, Duncanville, Cedar Hill, Lancaster, Red Oak, and Ovilla
for over 150 years.
Founded in 1847
the church was moved to its current location in 1859 and has
continually served the community ever since.
On the Texas
historic registry, Wheatland UMC was the first church
established in our area and continues in its mission to this day
because of the dedicated work of our pastorate and members.
