Hello and welcome to the First United Methodist Church of Bastrop.  I want to thank you for visiting our website and personally invite you to come and visit with us at one of our three services.  I have been the pastor at FUMC Bastrop for four years and I am thankful to have such a wonderful church.

Our core is a firm focus on being disciples of Jesus Christ.  My heart for ministry consists of a great love for God and His Word, and a great love for our neighbors.  I am a Bible preacher.  My focus and love is the Holy Word.

In addition, I believe that the church must be about outreach.  I am thankful that we have caring volunteers that reach out and serve at the soup kitchen, the food bank, nursing home services, hospital visits, homeless ministries, and a host of other ministries that our church offers.  I am thankful that each week we open our doors and welcome groups to use our facilities: the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Alcoholic Anonymous, Care for the Caregivers, and numerous other outreach groups.  We are not a museum —  we are an active and vibrant witness to our community.  Please come and visit with us, we would love to have you.
