St. Matthew’s Missionary Baptist Church is one of the many forgotten institutions and churches of Pflugerville, Texas. Only historians and long time residents of Pflugerville know about this religious institution.
St. Matthew’s Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1920 inside the small town of Pflugerville, Texas. A church building was constructed in 1920 at Caldwell Lane. Land was sparsely developed. The church congregation met at Pflugerville Negro School before the church was completed. Several Baptist congregations of Travis County have met here over the years.
St. Matthew’s Missionary Baptist Church had a cemetery through St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church. Some graves date back to the 1930s. Many graves appear to be unmarked. However 40 burials have been identified by the Austin Genealogical Society. St. Matthew’s Missionary Baptist Church closed in 1973 and the St. Matthew’s Missionary Baptist Church structure no longer remains
