The First United Methodist Church has been in its ornate home in Pasadena for 101 years. For about 10 years, it has also been the home of a satellite location of the Islamic Center of Southern California, a large mosque in the downtown area.

And for a little over a year, the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center has also used space at the Colorado Boulevard church. The congregation lost their worship space to the Eaton Fire in January 2025.

That means that First United Methodist Church in Pasadena is today the site of bar mitzvahs and Shabbat services, iftar meals and Friday prayers and Christian Holy Week services.

Sometimes, within hours of each other.

“I'm not aware of any other church in the country that has all three Abrahamic faiths worshiping under one roof. It's pretty phenomenal,” said Pastor Amy Aitken of the First United Methodist Church.

Twice a month our team volunteers at the Friends in Deed Food Pantry. We find shelves empty and in disarray and restock for the next group of recipients. FID serves an average of 700 people per week. They are doing good work in our community.

We are no longer in this building which served us well for a century. But it continues to grace the corner of Los Robles and Walnut holding so many memories - and now new ministries in our community. Come this Sunday to our newest meeting place (500 E. Colorado Blvd.) for worship at 11:30 and our second Forum on the History of this congregation. Focus will be on the last 30 years and how they prepare us for the next 30!
