Valencia United Methodist Church, Santa Clarita CA

Why should I even be there? I don't believe in the supernatural or woo-woo faith based belief systems.

The congregation is open and accepting of all people. I’ve felt at home at this church since the first day I attended a service. This church is wonderful and I invite anyone looking for a church to come and attend a service to see for yourself.

I love attending this Church! Everyone is so kind and welcoming! I have a two year old who goes to the nursery and they take such great care of him! I never worry about leaving him in there because he always has a GREAT time! They also redid the playground and it’s the BEST! My son also loves the donuts

When my family and I moved to Valencia 6 years ago, we were looking for something new and refreshing. Something that made us feel like we were part of a congregation. Not a mega church where the pastor doesn’t know your name. We wanted a family atmosphere. We wanted a church that felt warm and inviting. That included everyone from all walks of life and all backgrounds. This was especially important to us. That everyone is included. After trying out a few churches in the area, nothing felt quite as wonderful as VUMC. The people. The pastors. The children’s program. The message that we receive every Sunday. Of hope and goodness. The music is wonderful. And our pastors even add in their own stories to make the sermon relevant and relatable to us. They don’t make you feel like you need to be perfect to be loved by God. I hope if you’re reading, you give this little church on the corner, a try. And hopefully you will see how welcoming and wonderful it truly is.

Very family friendly, open and warm feeling. Everyone is welcome and this truly means everyone!

I highly recommend this church to families with young children. Their Wednesday night Kidzone Program is awesome. My grandkids love it. High energy and lots of fun! Sunday School is great as well. There is also a children’s choir and VBS! So many fun events for families! Pastors are amazing…. Very welcoming.

My family and I love attending Valencia United Methodist Church. We generally go to the 10: 30 praise band service, but try to take my Mother In Law a few times a year to the 9: 00 service to hear their amazing Choir. This Church has a great youth program, Kids Zone, Vacation Bible School, and many more activities.

The warm welcoming feel, coupled with the extraordinary music was what caught my attention. The current, relevant, Bible based teaching of love for all is what made me want to stay and be a part of this amazing church family.

Friends brought us to this church and it has become home. Never have we felt so cared for, so welcomed and engaged as we grow our faith. The children’s programs are the best in the valley. If you’re looking for a place that truly welcomes you as you are - no matter who you or what your past is, this is the place for you! It’s a church that is truly #hereforgood

Regardless of where you are on your faith journey, if you are looking for a faith community that believes you and your personal story are important; everyone has baggage/stuff and that is okay; families come in all shapes and sizes; and that ALL means ALL I encourage you, regardless of race, past religious affiliations, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity, to check out Valencia UMC. This congregation is a safe, welcoming and affirming place for those seeking a relationship with the Lord.

I found this church about 15 years ago and have been a member for around 10. It’s the most welcoming (to all) church that we found when we started looking and it’s still that way. I’m proud to call it my church

All means all and this church really does mean it. Valencia United Methodist Church is an all-inclusive church that shares relevant current real-world subjects you can relate to. If you are looking for a church that accepts and celebrates all then this is the place. Everyone is welcome at Jesus' table and at this church.

I've been attending Valencia United Methodist Church for many years, and for many reasons. It's a warm and welcoming church with relatable sermons and friendly people. And the music is amazing! The first service has a beautiful choir and the second service has a lively modern band. All very talented. Through a small group I joined (a blend of Bible study, book club and support group) I made new friends whom I cherish.

Valencia UMC is a Church where everyone feels at home. The wonderful message and the beautiful music always fill me with love and inspiration <3

When we moved from NJ 5 years ago, we visited many churches in town. When we first arrived to VUMC, we immediate felt welcomed and accepted. The programs for the kids and youth are great! My teen actually asks to go to youth group and a teen being enthusiastic about anything is saying a lot. It is important to me that this is one of the few LGBTQIA+ affirming churches in town. I feel the members truly live out the motto “All are welcome and all means all. ” Pastors Andy and Camille are very down to earth, open minded, and welcome questioning and discourse. My family found our church home here.

Valencia is a growing church, filled with people new to faith, those looking to rekindle their faith and those who have followed Jesus for a long time. This congregation does 3 things well - Service, Community and Worship. They serve in the community- if you live in Valencia you have seen their hashtag #hereforgood. They are known for their small groups - all kinds to welcome all kinds of people. And their worship (both classic and modern worship services) connects to real life. Great choir and musicians at 9, modern band with uplifting music at 10: 30. Pastors Andy and Camille are generous, caring and part of the community. The staff and leadership always go the extra mile. This is an inclusive church (there is more on their website) and a place where love is shared. Join in - you would be welcomed here.

I love this church! All are welcome here. It’s a warm and welcoming community of faith. The choir and music ministries are fantastic and help to lead worship in amazing ways. There are many opportunities to serve our community too.
