Faith Forward: Embracing Diversity, Love, and Progress.
Faith. Love. Progress.
We're not your typical congregation. We're a passionate group of individuals who believe in the power of love, diversity, and inclusivity. If you're searching for a place where your unique journey is not just accepted but celebrated, you've found it. Our values are deeply rooted in inclusivity, progressiveness, and embracing the beautiful tapestry of human diversity. Here, you'll find a safe and affirming space to explore your spirituality, express your true self, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for positive change.
Whether you're just starting to explore your spiritual path or have a long-standing connection with your faith, our doors are wide open to you. We celebrate and welcome the LGBTQ+ community with open arms, and we're proud to be a place where everyone can find love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging.
As a congregation, we're committed to making a positive impact in our community and beyond. We believe in the power of faith to inspire social change, and we actively engage in meaningful initiatives to create a more just and compassionate world.
Join us in this exciting journey where faith, love, and progress intertwine. Together, we'll explore the endless possibilities of personal and collective growth, and we'll create lasting connections that enrich our lives.
Come as you are, and let's embark on this incredible journey together at First UMC of Chula Vista. We can't wait to meet you, hear your story, and welcome you into our vibrant and loving congregation.
