Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors

You are welcome here.

Thank you to all who supported our 150th Anniversary!

Welcome to your
Neighborhood Church

Some of us are lifelong Methodists, others from different traditions and some from no religious background at all. We believe each of us is growing into the person God created us to be. We value the examples of those who have gone before us (tradition and scripture), the use of our minds (reason) and hearts (experience) as we seek to understand God’s intention for our lives. When faith is shared from a breadth of experiences and identities our community is richer.

Join us for worship every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. 

Proud to be a Reconciling Congregation

All people are welcome at First United Methodist Church. We are proudly part of the Reconciling Ministries Network and welcome all persons, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, physical or mental capacity, and education, socio-economic or marital status. 

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

We, acknowledge that the land upon which we worship was the ancestral
homeland of the Tongva People for thousands of years. Approximately two thousand Tongva people still live in the Los Angeles area. We honor their connection to this region and give thanks for the opportunity to live, work, worship and learn on this sacred land.

We Welcome All

There are opportunities to grow in faith at all ages and stages of life.  This includes engaging Bible studies, fellowship in small groups, creative classes, community service opportunities, and more. Learn more about our ministries:
