UrbanMission is a unique church in the city of Pomona. We approach the work of "church" 180 degrees different from most church-planting efforts: UrbanMission is a ministries collective, established to live out Jesus' call to co-labor with God in making our community the best it can be. Our individual ministries are self-contained but deeply interdependent.
Located in south Pomona, UrbanMission is a United Church of Christ/Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) new-church plant that began late in 2013 as the inspiration of Claremont School of Theology student Al Lopez.
UrbanMission's ministries have now begun to blossom, thanks to collaborative support from congregations like First Christian Church Pomona, First Christian Church Orange, East Whittier Christian Church, Diamond Bar UCC, Claremont UCC, St. Denis Catholic Community, and River of Life Community Church. Damien High School parents and students continue to be regular volunteers at the Sunday evening "Open Table" meal with the community at 5:00 p.m.
Our UCC tradition believes that, "God is still speaking," and we believe that this is true! Not just to us individually but also to the world at large, through different manifestations of "being church." It is a blessing for UM to be church alongside the city of Pomona!
