May the grace and peace of Jesus Christ be with you! I am very thankful for the ministry of First United Methodist Church of Van Alstyne and welcome you to our website. I hope that no matter where you are in the world, you feel the love of God's grace in your life. If you are in or nearby the Texas community of Van Alstyne or soon will be a part of our community, we invite you to join us in the many ways we serve Christ and love one another. Please visit our church at 303 S. Preston, Van Alstyne, TX, 75495. Share your gifts, graces, and faith story with us as we share our gifts, graces, and faith story with you. I can think of no better way to witness the glory, imagination, and diversity of God and God's creation than through the lives and experiences of people coming together in praise, fellowship, Christian education, and mission. If you are not near us and not sharing in the peace of Christ through a local congregation, please seek one out near you. May the Love of God the Father, the Peace of Christ, and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you now and always!
Amen.
Jerry Jones, Pastor

Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative was founded in September of 1937 as a result of the Rural Electrification Act of 1935. In the 1930s Americans were beginning to recover from the Great Depression. The Rural Electrification Act of 1935 was signed by President Roosevelt as part of the "New Deal" establishing the Rural Electrification Administration, or REA, as a government agency. President Roosevelt saw the need for Rural homes and farms to have electricity regardless of the fact that the Investor Owned Utilities refused to serve those homes.
Since many rural residents could not afford the cost to electrify their homes, the REA allowed the farmers and ranchers who lived on those homes the opportunity to band together and borrow money for the government to start their own electric cooperative. Eventually, electric cooperatives began popping up across the country electrifying the homes that once stood in the dark.
The idea for GCEC was born in those early days. In 1936, an unofficial meeting was held in Celina to discuss the possibility of starting a co-op in Grayson and Collin counties. From that meeting, farmers started collecting signatures and membership fees from their neighbors. On September 29, 1937, Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative was incorporated and held its first meeting at a local bank in Van Alstyne.
Since that first meeting in 1937, GCEC has always sought to serve its members in the best way possible. Though the service area and demographics have changed over the years, one thing will always remain the same: to provide the very best possible service at the very least possible cost.
Our commitment to provide the best kind of banking can be summed up in our mission statement: “To exceed our customers’ expectations by delivering superior customer service that will lead Great Plains Bank to being the dominant bank in each of our markets. Ownership and management are committed to this same level of service to our family of employees.”
