Welcome to Community United Methodist Church
in Huntington Beach:

Serving the Orange County local communities of Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Westminster and Seal Beach, Community United Methodist Church traces it's origin back to December, 1904.  It was then that local farmers, started a community Sunday School in a little farming village called Wintersburg.  Soon the members incorporated as a Methodist Church and in 1906 the church building, now the Baptist Church located at Warner and Gothard in Huntington Beach, was built.

In the early 1960s, the members decided it was time to relocate, to accommodate the church's tremendous membership growth. Our current site, formerly the farm of John, and Norma Murdy, was presented as a gift to our church. They had a vision for the future and undertook the sacrifices necessary to ensure that this vision would come to pass.

Community United Methodist Church stands upon a very firm heritage. Today, we are proud of our mission and community outreach programs which include our outstanding daily nursery school, a Food Closet, a free after school program, support of a home for battered women and children, involvement with Beach Cities Interfaith Services, and many others. We offer study and worship for all ages each Sunday and mid-week bible study classes.  In addition, we have many other outstanding fellowship groups and programs for all ages.

During 2005, the church enjoyed a year-long celebration of the 100^th anniversary of service to the community.  Excerpts published throughout the year, further describing our heritage, can be found at 100 Years of Community.

We also stand at a crossroads, for we, like our forebears, must continue to look toward the future. As we continue to dream and to plan, we must believe that for this congregation, the best is yet to come!
