Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
CHRISTIAN
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH - The first CME church in
Texas was established at Marshall in Harrison County. The
East Texas Conference was one of the original conferences
recognized at the Jackson organizational meeting. A West
Texas Conference was organized in 1871. The first East Texas
Annual Conference was held at Marshall on November 6, 1872.
Later a Northwest Conference was organized, and in 1894
the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church established Texas
College in Tyler, the center of the Colored Methodist Episcopal
population in East Texas. Bishop M. F. Jamison is given
much of the credit for the establishment and success of
the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Texas.
