Welcome to Mesa Verde United Methodist Church!

Thanks for visiting us online.

We are a caring and accepting family of seekers, believers, and doubters. We are united in knowing we love one another and that God loves us. We are open to everyonethose with questions, those looking for a spiritual home, and those with faith stories to tell. We believe in growing in grace, having fellowship and fun, and in making a difference in the world.

Mesa Verde UMC is a welcoming church. We affirm that through God's redeeming love for all, we are one in Christ. We respect the inherent and valuable contributions each member makes to the body of Christ. We celebrate our diversity and recognize the sacred worth and dignity of all persons regardless of sexual orientation, gender, race, age, ethnicity, physical or mental capacity, education, or economic or marital status.

Please Note: There will be only one service June 30, starting at 9:30 am

What's Hot


The youth are holding a fundraiser at the Newport Rib Co.! Come and enjoy your favorite BBQ foods! A percentage of the proceeds will go towards the Youth Mission Team trip this summer. The restaurant is located at 2196 Harbor Blvd., Costa Mesa. A lot of us go after second service. Join us then or come later and avoid the gaggle of church goers! For more information, contact Susan Shaw.


What's New

The Chancel Choir and Rejoice Chamber Choir celebrate romance, nature, and beauty with English madgrigals, a little jazz, and even some selections from the one and only PDQ Bach! Come, join us for our annual spring concert May 5, at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. Discover why "Sweet Lovers Love the Spring!" A freewill offering will be taken. For details, contact Matthew Martinez.


What's Doing

What Else

It's that time again - spring cleaning at the church.
