History
 The Heritage congregation, established as Minter’s Chapel in the early 1850’s, is the oldest Methodist-roots congregation in Tarrant County, and has a rich tradition of worship and service in the Grapevine area.
Minter's Chapel Methodist Church was founded in 1854 by Rev. Green Minter, a circuit rider and early settler in Tarrant and Dallas Counties. He was aided by Rev. Nathan Hudgins, a Methodist minister of Birdville, in preaching to persons of all faiths worshiping together in the first quaint building fashioned of hand-hewn logs. This building also served the community as a school and meeting place. The church and its adjoining cemetery, which has continued to be maintained since the founding of the congregation, occupy land donated by James Cate, who with his wife was among the charter members of the congregation.
When the Minter's Chapel property was enveloped by DFW airport in 1967, Minter's Chapel Methodist Church was relocated to Grapevine, Texas at 4344 Heritage Ave. It was later renamed Heritage United Methodist Church. In October 2009, Heritage merged with First United Methodist Church.
The cemetery is located on the west side of DFW Airport. From Euless or Arlington, take State Highway 360 north to Mid-Cities Blvd and take a right toward the airport. Turn left onto Airfield Dr. which is at about the third stoplight. There is a sign for the cemetery before you get to the stoplight where you will turn left again. Just before you get to this stoplight, you will be able to see the cemetery on the hill to the left. After you turn to the left take an immediate right.
