Our focus at La Vernia United Methodist Church (LVUMC) is to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) making disciples of Jesus Christ, Baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching obedience to the commands of Jesus.
Our average worship attendance at La Vernia UMC is about 100 at 8:30 AM and 60 at 11:00 AM. There are also four adult Sunday School classes for all ages starting at 9:30 AM in various locations throughout the church grounds.
We proclaim the Word of God as found in the scriptures of the Old and New Testament.

Worship is a public act. All who love God, and seek to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ are welcome to participate in any of our services. In the tradition of the United Methodist Church, membership in this or any other United Methodist Church is not required to partake of the Sacraments or to participate in our programs and activities.
Nurture and Mission of the Church—We emphasize the nurturing and serving function of Christian fellowship in the Church. The personal experience of faith is nourished by the worshiping community. The communal forms of faith in the Wesleyan tradition not only promote personal growth; they also equip and mobilize us for mission and service to the world.
