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!
To bind together followers of Jesus Christ for the purpose of sharing in the worship of God and in making His Will dominant in the lives of all people, individually and collectively, especially as that Will is set forth in the Bible and in the life teachings of Jesus Christ.
In 1913, the Whittier Plymouth Congregational church embarked on a mission outreach effort to the growing Japanese immigrant community in Montebello. What began as a Sunday school project eventually grew, through the hard work, dedication and sacrifice of the Issei members, to be the Montebello Plymouth Congregational Church.
Building on the foundation laid down by the Issei, MPCC continued to grow and mature as a church under the emerging able leadership of the second-generation Japanese Americans, the Nisei. With their diligent commitment and support, MPCC strove to meet the Gospel call to minister to the spiritual needs of its members, while also seeking to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the community at large.
In 2013, we celebrated 100 years of faithful service to our loving God. We continue to rejoice in our diversity and are empowered to carry on this rich legacy of faith as a people of God called to a ministry of peace, justice and a loving community.
