Rev. Dr. Bruce A. Jones
Welcome
It is my joy and privilege to be the pastor of La Plata United Methodist Church. I believe that God has called me to be here for exactly this time in our church's history. On behalf of the entire congregation, I want to welcome you to our church's web site, and I'd love to have you come and get a feel for our church family.
We are an open church that welcomes all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or who are interested in learning more about him. We are a diverse and growing congregation with groups and activities for all ages.
I want to personally invite you to join us in worship any Sunday morning at either our 8:30 or 11:00 AM services. Or, if you enjoy a more casual and contemporary service, please consider trying our Wednesday evening service at 7:00 pm. I hope you will give us a try, and I look forward to meeting you.
