Platte Woods United Methodist Church

UPDATE: 2026. Still dead trees on the property. Fallen trees, stumps, dead bushes. The church attended the priDE MONth parade last weekend, when it should have been taking pride in developing good relationships with its neighbors. 2024: Church doesn’t actually care about its neighbors. I’m literally a neighbor. I live next door. It’s Saturday morning. The church member who mows, is out mowing at 6:53am. I’ve had enough. I nicely confronted him and told him not to mow until 8am on a weekends. They start at 7am weekdays typically, fine. It’s a weekday, I’m basically up anyways. Second, the church has a ton of property that they don’t maintain. A pond on the north side that feeds into other neighbors ponds. The neighbors can’t keep their ponds clean, because the church doesn’t keep its clean. Garbage runs downhill. They also have trees and overgrown areas of their property that are adjacent to our homes. They don’t maintain any of that. Poison ivy, poison oak, dead trees, dead bushes. Third, they leave the parking lot lights on all throughout the night. Creating terrible light pollution at night, using unnecessary energy which costs us all money, and is an annoyance. These are my valid complaints as a neighbor. I’ve lived here 3 years. I’m going to reach out to the church tomorrow. I’ll update this post. UPDATE: Church did not respond or bother to knock on our door to try to provide resolution.

First visit - its obvious they are keeping the first commandment here: love God and love others.

I've been attending here for years and love the community. They have many programs for children and families as well as adult only programs. The staff is welcoming and intentional about including everyone.

Very friendly and welcomed me in. The head pastor has given great sermons both times I went and will continue to be a top church I've visited.

I like the PARENTS DAY OUT Program. I hope the staff becomes more welcoming in the mornings. After the stress of getting children ready and trying to get to the church early enough not to be turned away, a "Good morning" and maybe even a smile goes a long way.
