HISTORY
The first meeting to discuss organizing a United Methodist church in the Lake Travis area was called by Marsha Kulpa for January 12, 1988 with 10 persons present. The group moved from Lakeway Inn to an office building on Highway 620 in June 1988, and was constituted as a church of the Southwest Texas Conference on January 15, 1989 with 57 members. The pastor for the first eight and one-half years was Clyde W. Chesnutt.

The church moved into the present facility in May 1993 with 266 members and added four more classrooms in 1996. The educational building and present worship area was named in Clyde and Dotsy Chesnutt's honor following their retirement in June, 1997.

In June of 1997, Bishop Raymond Owen appointed the Rev. Ronald and Rev. Linda Jean Myers to serve as pastors. The church continues to add programs and staff while significant growth offers the church exciting challenges and rewards for ministry. Today over 800 people have formally united in membership with Lake Travis United Methodist Church. There are many more who call us their church home.

Construction of our new sanctuary was completed in April, 2000. The congregation celebrated its first worship service in the new building on Sunday, April 9, 2000.

This is our story. It has not ended. As long as there are people who are in need and pain, and who do not know the love and joy of Jesus Christ, our story will go on. We welcome you to grow in your discipleship and be part of the story that is Jesus Christ.
