Welcome to

Montebello Plymouth

Congregational

Church

YOu are

welcome here

Mabuhay! Irasshai! E komo mai! Welcome!
Bienvenidos! Talofa! Aloha! Welcome! Welcome!

​

That is the verse of the song “You’re Welcome Here!” which our church wrote at our Pilgrim Pines Family Camp in 2006.  That also reflects the spirit of welcome that our Montebello Plymouth Church family extends to all who seek fellowship in Christ.  Indeed, you ARE welcome here.  No matter who you are or where you are in life’s journey.

​

We are a local church of the United Church of Christ active in the Central Association UCC and the Southern California Nevada Conference, UCC. We come from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, young and old, individuals, couples and families, united as one family of Jesus Christ, the head of the church. We invite you to join our community of worship, learning, and fellowship and experience God's love.

​

We look forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Our work to coordinate a disaster recovery response continues, and we couldn’t do it without the generous support and leadership from our United Church of Christ Global HOPE Team, especially Katie Howe (Minister for Disaster Response and Recovery) and Andrew Long Higgins (Team Leader). While we continue to encourage volunteers to engage with the response through L.A. Works, please be aware that at this time there are thousands more registered volunteers than there are opportunities. The time will come, and it will be a years-long effort, but now is a moment to begin imagining with your local church what it might look like to plan a work trip a year or two from now. Help will be needed long after this disaster is no longer in the headlines.

​

We have received many offers of chaplaincy support and we are now able to redirect these offers to Rev. Heidi Worthen Gamble, Mission Catalyst at the Pacific Presbytery (PCUSA), who is coordinating this ministry through ENLA. Please contact heidi@pacificpresbytery.org to participate. You may also register through Abolitionist Sanctuary, with our thanks to Rev. Pat Langlois for sharing this resource.

​

Finally, we give thanks for the dozens of notes of care and encouragement we are receiving from around the world: from local churches and neighbors, denominational partners and interfaith allies. Just this week, we received a letter from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, offering condolences and recognizing the “enormous task of restoration and rebuilding” with “prayers that God will embrace all with love, hope, and strength as you walk through this season of trial.” In the past, the SCNC has been there to offer aid to our partners, including with a major portion of our collection at the 2024 Annual Gathering. Now, in our hour of need, that love and compassion is being multiplied in return. We are not alone, thanks be to God!

The Conference has also created a fund to receive gifts that we will be able to distribute immediately to local communities. Go to the Tithely donation page for “SCNC Wildfire Aid 2025,” or you may direct checks to the Conference office with this memo.
