A Place to be loved, a place to belong!

La Mesa First United Methodist Church is a welcoming place for all people to explore faith and make a difference in the community.  You are invited to join us to learn more about our church community, our faith and our ministries in a warm and friendly environment.

Pastor’s Bible Study

Pastor Christian offers seasonal Bible Study classes to take a deeper look at lessons from the Bible and make them relevant to our faith. Each series lasts 6 to 8 weeks and will be dedicated to a specific topic. Contact Pastor Christian to participate or find out more.

United Women in Faith (previously UMW)

MONTHLY UNIT MEETING
Every month, all are invited to a place of Christian friendship and fellowship, a community of progressive women whose vision is to turn faith, hope and love into activism on behalf of women, children and youth around the world.  We have mission visits, spiritual enrichment and special speakers who represent programs that address issues such as racism, climate justice, homelessness, economic justice, social justice, child and maternal health and human trafficking.
When:  1 p.m., First Wednesday of the month

Lois Knowlton

DAYS FOR GIRLS
The  vision that every girl and woman in the world should have access to quality, sustainable hygiene supplies inspired this international program in 2008.  Our group of primarily women make colorful kits with pads containing high-quality washable shields for use in areas where feminine hygiene products are either not available or too expensive.  Several hundred kits have been sent to third-world countries and recently across our southern border to Tijuana and Mexicali.  Girls who previously missed school days during their periods are gaining back their "Days for Girls."

 When:  Noon, Mondays
 Contact:  Jan Burt

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Each study is based on a theme or person in the Bible and accompanied by a selected book.  Excellent teachers bring information outside the reading and pose questions designed to encourage spiritual growth.  With a time for sharing joys and concerns, close bonding of the women is a foundation of this group. 

When:  6:30 pm, Tuesdays on Zoom (Password: lamesaumc)
Contact:  Eliane Olson or Lucinda Rasmussen

​Youth Group

For 5th through 12th graders: Young people learn about the Christian faith, play games, connect with their peers and participate in community volunteer activities. All are welcome! 

When: We are currently in the process of locating a spirit-filled and qualified leader. Once that is accomplished, meetings will resume on Sundays from 4:00–6:00 pm in the Education Building.  Contact Pastor Christian to learn more or to inquire.
