Our Church

Pasadena Community Church is a United Methodist Congregation. Our church has a rich history of innovation and service to God.
Our mission statement is clear. Every day,Pasadena Community Church seeks to "Glorify God my making disciples of Jesus Christ." Read more about that mission here.
Read the passage from Matthew 28:19-20 on which our Mission Statement is based.

Our Beliefs
With Christians of other communions we confess belief in the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This confession embraces the biblical witness to God’s activity in creation, encompasses God’s gracious self-involvement in the dramas of history, and anticipates the consummation of God’s reign.

The created order is designed for the well-being of all creatures and as the place of human dwelling in covenant with God. As sinful creatures, however, we have broken that covenant, become estranged from God, wounded ourselves and one another, and wreaked havoc throughout the natural order. We stand in need of redemption.

" ... Because God truly loves us in spite of our willful sin, God judges us, summons us to repentance, pardons us, receives us by that grace given to us in Jesus Christ, and gives us hope of life eternal."

Here is what the United Methodist Church has to say about:
Scripture
Tradition
Experience
Reason
A Triune God
Prevenient Grace
Justification and Assurance
Sanctification and Perfection
Faith and Good Works
Nurture and Mission of the Church
Mission and Service

The UMC also has adopted a clear Social Creed that guides our daily living in a modern world.

 
The Structure
Here is a guide from the United Methodist Church that explains what committees and councils do in our church.
Our History
The original Pasadena Church was built in its existing location in 1925 on two lots donated by a local businessman.

The first service was held on March 25, 1925. The first sanctuary consisted of the entire center section of the present Hamilton Auditorium, which was not fully complete when the first service was held. The Rev. J. S. Lean became the first Pastor from the first service until June 1926. Early in the fall of 1925 the first 20 members were received into the Church.
