Our History
Our History began in 1962 when Our Church became the first Protestant church in Sun City (now a part of the city of Menifee). Our Church, our house of prayer, whose sanctuary was built in 1988, has been ministering to the needs of people in Southern California for more than 50 years. In 2018 we sold our church in order to build something in Menifee that better suits our present needs. It is a very exciting time!
Over the years we have been joined in the city of Menifee by many other Protestant churches, not to mention our Catholic brothers and sisters. We are in an area with diverse faith traditions, as evidenced by the monthly meeting of the Menifee Interfaith Council, of which our church is a member.
We received a certificate indicating the Open and Affirming status of Menifee United Church of Christ from the Rev. Joe McGowan (center) at the Annual Gathering of the Southern California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ in Orange CA on June 4, 2016. Open and Affirming means we welcome and affirm everybody of every age, sex, race, class, faith, ability, nationality, marital status, sexual orientation and gender identity.
Our History is not without controversy. We believe we are to to be followers of Jesus, and love like Jesus.
