About Us

History of Gruene UMC

Gruene UMC was created out of the love and desire to further God’s Kingdom in New Braunfels in 2006 as a daughter congregation of First UMC, New Braunfels.

Rev. Karen Horan, founding pastor, was given the task along with about 30 members of the launch team to prayerfully consider what God’s will was for this new congregation.

After 7 months of community gatherings, preview services, much prayer and much planning, Gruene UMC launched on September 17, 2006 at Hoffmann Lane Elementary School. Over 130 people attended and God’s presence was felt. We praised God for God’s faithfulness!

In January 2008, Gruene UMC chartered and became its own entity apart from the parent church.

In March 2008, Gruene UMC outgrew Hoffmann Lane Elementary and moved to Canyon High School where we currently meet.

On July 12, 2008, we officially broke ground on our 22,000 square foot phase one facility, and had our first worship service in the new facility in November, 2009.

God Has been so good and so faithful in leading us!
