About us
Pasadena United Methodist Church welcomes you to join the several generations of people who gather together for worship and grow in the grace of God that leads us out in service.
Pasadena UMC traces its roots to 1875 when the Piney Branch Methodist Church was formed near the intersection of Benfield and Jumpers Hole Road. Through the years that followed, the congregation met in various locations, including a tent and a local school. During that time, two congregations merged to officially form Pasadena Methodist Church, whose first building was erected in 1919. Due to the growth of our community and our congregation, the current church building was completed in 1958. With the merger of the Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist Episcopal Church in 1968, we officially became Pasadena United Methodist Church.
As a congregation of the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church, we share in the Wesleyan focus on the activity of God through prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace. We respond to God's grace through lives defined by personal piety and interpersonal compassion.
We are committed to become a faith community in which we INVITE each person into relationship with God in Jesus Christ, GROW as disciples ourselves through intentional commitment to the Christian spiritual disciplines, and BUILD God’s kingdom in our community and world through the grace and power of God.
