LGBTQIA+ Affirming
Church-Trauma Informed
No Fire + Brimstone
Here at First United, we want to make it abundantly clear:
We are a fully LGBTQIA+ Affirming congregation.

This means that not only do we welcome our LGBTQIA+ siblings, we accept and love you just as you are. We are actively working to create a safer environment for everyone within our walls and in our community through conversation, advocacy, and activism.

Our stories are ever changing, a mystifying dance among people, places, & our own perception. First United Methodist Church of Costa Mesa is an odd tribe of individuals seeking to create space for those incredible, messy lives to unfold. We welcome those seeking growth through gathering in community, utilizing the stories of Christ as our guiding narrative. The place of abundance found gives us the courage to share our time, passion, & money as a means to garden all that surrounds us. Our desires are rooted in growing peace and hope. If those words mean something to you and you find yourself in a place of unrest, fear, or transition, read on. Our story may be the same.
