Crescenta Valley United Methodist Church Welcome to Crescenta Valley United Methodist Church! Worship is at 10am on Sunday mornings. Join us for uplifting music and an inspiring word! We are Green.

A church family has to be experienced to be known. We want you to experience us, to know us - and we want to know you. By way of introduction, here are some things you might like to know about us:

We are Deeply Rooted in the Community. In our congregation, we have new residents and three-generation families. We have local businesspeople, local teachers, and families connected to CV schools. We have JPL scientists, professional musicians, sheriff's deputies, doctors, lawyers, artists, and some gratefully retired folks. Most of us exercise at the local YMCA at some point during the day. As a congregation we laugh easily and we share deeply. We are a place of Sanctuary and Rest. We are a place of renewal and hope and prophetic action. We are a family of people who humbly seek to be closer to God. When you come to worship with us, you will experience no claims of perfection and no gatekeepers of God's grace. Each one of us makes our mistakes and asks God's forgiveness. We seek to know God's love in our lives and to have that love overflow us and spill out into the streets of Montrose, La Crescenta, and beyond, where there is a world of hurt and emptiness waiting to be filled. We are connected to the worldwide United Methodist Church,
We welcome you with Open Doors, Open Hearts, and Open Minds. Find out more about the UMC at www.umc.org. All of our light bulbs have been replaced with energy efficient bulbs that won us a serious rebate from the City of Glendale. We recycle. J's Maintenance uses green cleaning products on our property. We email 1/3 of our church newsletters, and the others are printed on 100% recycled paper. We're reduced our use of paper products in kitchen, and we have replaced many of our toilets with water-efficient models. We are a Sanctuary of Safety. We have policies and procedures in place to make church a safe and secure place for your children.

We had a great time volunteering again at the Montrose Oktoberfest this year and serving up pretzels and churros to festival-goers throughout the afternoon! 🥨❤️

A big thank you to everyone from our church family who gave their time to help at the booth in the heat and to everyone who stopped by to grab a treat and say helloI We’re always grateful for opportunities to get out into our community, serve our neighbors, and have a little fun along the way!

And thank you to Sean Doorly 📷 LA Family, Event, Headshots, Music Photographer for capturing this fun picture from the day! 📸

Let's pray for those who are walking the whole 96 miles and some part of it until the end in downtown LA. Pastor Kevin and Pastor Paige who are former Pastors of our church are participating. One for 96 miles and the other for 4 days. We stand with our Immigrant Neighbors who are being treated unfairly. Here is more information and you can see how to volunteer or donate in the comments from the Cal Pac Conference.
The Lord says: "Build up, build up a highway! Clear a road! Remove all obstacles From the road of My people!" (Isaiah 57:14)
A sacred journey from Adelanto ICE Detention Center to the Metropolitan Detention Center and Federal Building in Los Angeles to draw attention and cry out for immediate action to end the deplorable conditions and deaths at the detention centers throughout California and across the country. Now is the time to end cruel immigration policy and ICE detention centers.

Organized by Clergy & Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE), Nefesh LA, and Sacred Resistance, in partnership with No Camps California, Shut Down Adelanto Coalition, Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, and Matthew 25 SoCal, LA Voice, and UNITE HERE Local 11

We invite the community to join us in this multifaith pilgrimage. It will mark the next chapter in a daily practice of faithful witness and action by clergy and the faithful in immigration courts, detention centers, policymakers' offices, houses of worship, and people’s homes as we tend to and advocate for the dignity and safety of our immigrant community members.

As religious leaders and community members, we will walk to bring awareness to the targeted immigrant community and to serve as a voice of protest for those for whom it is not safe to speak out.

A note on the walk: We will walk from 12-16 miles a day for many days in a row on both roads and rugged terrain. If you want to join for the full pilgrimage, please register by Tuesday 9/8 so we can prepare for the logistics of your lodging and food. We will hold an information session the week of 9/8 for walkers doing the full pilgrimage. Now is the time to start preparing for this distance with daily walking.
You are welcome to come for a day or part of a day

Please register by 9/21 if you would like to join as a day walker. We especially encourage you to join on September 29 (Day 1), when we begin at the Adelanto Detection Center and the last day, October 6, when we arrive in Los Angeles. Days 4-8. We will be walking on more accessible roads that will allow for wheelchairs and other mobility-assisted devices.

Days 2 and 3 will be on non-accessible roads and trails, as they are the only paths available.

Here is a great article about Pastor Kevin and his involvement with immigrants at Tujunga UMC. So proud of him and this is a really great article about him, Tujunga UMC and CLUE. All the ongoing good reasons to push for ICE to be stopped!

Across Los Angeles, churches are sheltering Iranian refugees, paying immigration bonds, and turning Christian compassion into organized resistance.

Help students start the school year strong! 🎒✏️ 📚 Through Sunday, August 16, we’re collecting school supplies for Learning Works, a program that supports older youth and young adults working toward their high school diplomas.

Donations can be placed in the collection box in Fellowship Hall. Needed items include mechanical pencils, spiral-bound pocket folders, notebooks, college-ruled paper, markers, black backpacks, inexpensive earbuds, phone charging cords, and individually wrapped non-perishable snacks like Goldfish crackers, pretzels, animal crackers, fruit snacks, and assorted chips.

Every donation, big or small, helps students begin the school year with the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed. Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community!

We want to take a moment to celebrate and thank Kevin Kang for his two and a half years of faithful leadership at CVUMC.

From tacos and Korean BBQ to wrestling shows, Pastor Kevin reminded us that community is built both around the table and through serving others. His passion for supporting our youth, immigrants, and neighbors in need has left a lasting impact on our church family. Through his energy, creativity, and vision, he strengthened our ministries, built meaningful community partnerships, and helped our church grow in countless ways. Alongside Pastor Hanna and their family, they have been a true blessing to our congregation.

While this chapter is coming to a close, we are grateful that Pastor Kevin will always remain part of our church family. Thank you for your leadership, your compassion, and the many ways you’ve helped shape CVUMC. We are praying for God’s blessings as you begin this exciting new chapter and we look forward to continuing to walk alongside you in the years ahead. ❤️

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ At CVUMC, we believe every person is created in God’s image and worthy of love, dignity, and belonging.

Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate our LGBTQ+ siblings, reflect on the importance of creating welcoming communities, and recommit ourselves to living out Christ’s call to love one another. We know that many people have wondered if there is a place for them in the church. Our hope is that all who walk through our doors know they are seen, valued, and loved.

This month and every month, we celebrate the diversity of God’s family and strive to be a community where everyone can grow in faith, find connection, and experience God’s love. ❤️
