In 1975, Brookshire-Pattison Area Volunteer Emergency Ambulance Corp. was formed by a group of dedicated volunteers.  At that time, 501(c)(3) status was established with the Internal Revenue Service, and is still in effect.  At the present time, we do business as Brookshire EMS, and provide emergency (9-1-1) ambulance service for the City of Brookshire and it’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.  

Our strength is in our personnel.  They will always strive to be the best that they can be and provide the best care that they can provide.  For many years, the organization operated strictly with volunteers. However, in recent years it has become more expensive and more time-consuming to obtain the required training and certification.  As a result, the organization has evolved into one that utilizes both paid and volunteer personnel.  Brookshire EMS is a community-oriented organization and our volunteers and employees participate in many community functions.  

We are limited not by our abilities, but only by our resources.  As with many non-profits, Brookshire EMS always needs funding for both routine operating expenses and for special projects.  Presently, our funding comes from several sources, including the following:

** Brookshire EMS charges a fee for service.  However, less than half of those fees are paid and our services are provided regardless of ability to pay.  

** The City of Brookshire provides part of our funding.

** Part of our funding comes from donations.  Because we are a non-profit organization and have 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service, donations to Brookshire EMS are tax-deductible.  

** Part of our funding comes from fundraising events.  Recent events include a raffle, a silent auction, a salad lunch, and the sale of smoked ribs.  

** We also active seek grants and other funding sources.  Recently, we were successful in obtaining funding from Texas Department of State Health Services for a new ambulance.  We also received funding through a General Mills program for the purchase of CPR training equipment.  

If you are interested in volunteering, supporting our fundraising events, making a donation, or simply have questions about Brookshire EMS and our operations, please contact us at  281-934-1275.  We will be glad to answer your questions or provide you with additional information.

First United Methodist Church - Brookshire

First United Methodist Church, Brookshire, TX

The mission of the First United Methodist Church of Brookshire is to worship God and make disciples of Jesus Christ. First United Methodist Church is here for you. We are young, old and middle-aged. We are single, married, divorced, widowed, parents, and grandparents. What we have most in common is our love of the Lord Jesus Christ. We want to share His love with you. What we have learned from our Lord and each other in this community of faith is this: By His grace, we take risks, make mistakes, confess, repent and try again-trusting in the abiding love Jesus Christ. We share a confidence that any life and hope in this community have more to do with God's faithfulness to us than ours to God. JOIN US AND LEARN MORE.

OUR HISTORY  First Methodist has throughout its history served the community with various programs and activities. This congregation traces its origin to the establishment of the Union Chapel Methodist church by the Rev. Churchill Fulshear in the former community of Pittsville (6 miles S) in 1844. Union Chapel served settlers in this area and moved to a new location about 2 miles south of here in 1880. The church later changed its name to Asbury Chapel. The Asbury sanctuary was sold in 1893, the year Brookshire was founded, and the proceeds were used to construct a new church building at this site. At that time the name of the church was changed to Brookshire Methodist Church. The Rev. J.W. Holt served as the congregation's first pastor. New sanctuaries were built after damage caused by the storms of 1900 and 1915. Due to the country's involvement in World War I, the rebuilding of the sanctuary in 1915 was difficult and required that the church provide its own labor. Four classrooms were added to the church building in 1928. The church became a full station of the Methodist church in 1946. In 1953, a new sanctuary was built at this site and in 1968 the name of the church was changed to First United Methodist Church of Brookshire.
