welcome
Since 1895, La Mesa First United Methodist Church has been at the heart of the La Mesa neighborhood for all people to explore faith and make a difference in the community. We are still here, 125 years later, to walk beside you, no matter where you are on your faith journey. We believe church can happen anywhere when we choose to live our faith in ways that create real and lasting change in the world; when we open hearts, open minds, and open doors to transform the lives of others; and when we put our beliefs into action.

If you prefer to worship online, you can livestream worship at 9:30 am on our YouTube channel or Facebook page.

OPEN HEARTS
We believe that living a life inspired by God's love compels us to offer help, hope, and healing to those looking for more meaning in their lives. |
OPEN MINDS
We believe God’s grace is available to all people, no matter where you’re from, what you look like, or what you’ve done. |
OPEN DOORS
We believe in welcoming others into our lives, but also in taking action outside the walls of the church to serve our neighbors, next door and around the world. |
