First United Methodist Church Pasadena has been a part of the Pasadena community for nearly 150 years, always located in the heart of the city.
The congregation was established in 1874 when the first Prayer Meeting and Sunday School was formed in what would later become the city of Pasadena.
Since then, our church has occupied four campuses, the last of which is the neo-gothic beauty (completed in 1924) we call home today.
Much has changed since that first Prayer meeting 150 years ago. We've grown, diversified, and become embedded in the fabric of Pasadena and the surrounding community. We're proud of creating a welcoming place for all to worship and explore their faith. We're also dedicated to continuing our work to create a more loving world through our many ministries and service projects in Pasadena and beyond. Here's to another 150 years of opening minds, hearts, and doors!
