Northwest Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church
Beginning in 1866, the Northwest Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South (now the
United Methodist Church) served as the administrative unit covering a large part of West Texas. In 1910
the conference was divided and the boundaries since that time have remained unchanged; covering
sixty-six counties in the Panhandle and South Plains of Texas. Currently, there are four districts which
comprise the conference: Amarillo, Abilene, Big Spring, and Lubbock. The conference office is located in
Lubbock.
