A short story about us

At Mesa Verde United Methodist Church in Costa Mesa, CA, we are a vibrant and inclusive congregation dedicated to serving God, one another, and the wider community. We embrace an emerging Christianity that encourages questioning and contemplation, focusing on compassion and love rather than strict dogma.

Who We Are

What We Do

We offer a variety of ministries and programs designed to foster spiritual growth and community connection. These include our Sunday Worship Celebration, children’s and youth programs, women's ministry with United Women in Faith, and the Hospitality Kitchen, which provides meals to those in need. As a reconciling congregation, we affirm that everyone is welcome, regardless of background or belief, especially those, like our LGBTQIA+ siblings, who have been left out of traditional churches.

If you're gay, trans, straight, or figuring it out, you are welcome here. Male, female, or non-binary, you are welcome here. If you are a person of color, you are welcome here. Whether you've been in church forever or just wandered in, you are welcome here. Young, old, or in between, you are welcome here. Republican, Democrat, Independent, or decline to specify, you are welcome here. Whether you are here for the sermon, music, or donuts, you are welcome here. No matter your faith, doubts, or how long you've attended, you are welcome here. ALL are welcome here! We're glad you're part of the family!
