Brea UMC

Brea United Methodist Church is a welcoming and caring congregation that seeks to serve God, one another and others by growing in faith, modeling compassion and connecting to the wider world with help, hope and peace. We embrace an emerging Christianity that invites questioning and contemplation, focuses less on dogma and doctrine and more on compassion and love. We promote practices of faith and service to transform both us and our community.

As a "Caring Church for Thinking People," we affirm that our hearts, minds, and doors are always open. We welcome all ages, races and nationalities, those of any physical or mental ability, those of any sexual orientation or gender identity, those of any family configuration, those of any theological or political

understanding, those of any economic status or those who may be homeless. We strive to be a community of spiritual growth that reflects compassion toward ALL God's children.

We invite you to join us. Whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey, there's a place for you here.
