Claremont United Church of Christ - Claremont, California

Claremont UCC combines many features of traditional, mainstream Protestant church-going with a forward-looking, fun and open-minded approach to worship. The sermons are interesting and well constructed, intellectually rich and thought-provoking. The choir is outstanding and there's a wide range of special music ranging from classical to folky, all performed very well. It's nice to be in church with a large number of families with young children. The overall vibe is politically liberal but not overbearingly so. Give it a try!

I just photographed a wedding here and this church was amazing. From the gentlemen that was more than helpful showing me around to the construction crew that made sure we knew they would stop working prior to the wedding. There were some great spots for photos with the sun behind us.. so ideal. I'm posting some photos for inspiration.. and the church doors are soooooo beautiful. ~Maria • Pink Heart Photography

I love this church so much. Open and affirming! The pastors are forward thinking and embrace all equally. The organ is to die for! And the new choir director is pretty awesome!

Amazing church, open and affirming, welcoming to all, and has a strong focus on social justice and working for the most vulnerable among us. In addition to all of the above, it's a very active church with many activities for different age/interest groups, and offers a lot of support for its congregants. I came to this church after bad experiences with other churches my entire life, and I'm so happy I found it. Come check it out - you won't regret it!

Here at CUCC you will find a love and life affirming congregation. It is a mainline Protestant, but very progressive, church that truly practices what it preaches — “All are welcome here.” Here, you will be welcomed with open arms and open minds.

I so enjoy the sermons at this church. They are relevant, timely, practical and inspiring. They are based on parts of the Bible I haven't explored in the past. And then the prayers are written to support the sermon and message. As is the wonderful music. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. I have found a wonderful community.

This church community has helped us to feel at home in Claremont. We have met so many lovely, caring, supportive people. Pastors Jen & Jacob put together such lovely services every week with fantastic sermons & beautiful music. It's a place that has made us better human beings in every way. We are so grateful for this spiritual community.

I have been attending Claremont United Church of Christ for around three years now. Most people know my daughter who often has valuable input when Pastor Laurel is presenting the sermon on the stairs. (speaking to all of our Sunday school participants).

Pastor Laurel is kind and gracious as she redirects my outgoing daughter. Pastor Laurel is always ready with a smile and hug for the kids. It's evident that one of the missions of Claremont United Church of Christ is to learn everyone's names. Within two weeks of attending both Pastors Jen and Jacob addressed my family by name. Pastors Jen and Jacob are both very approachable and are dripping with empathy and compassion. The sermons are always insightful and entertaining, it's amazing to see the personalities of these two beautiful people shine through from the pulpit.

If you can imagine your safe place, a place that provides you with smiles, wisdom, and acceptance no matter what stage of life you are experiencing. That would look very similar to attending Claremont United Church of Christ. I absolutely love that our congregation prides itself on accepting everyone. Even more importantly I constantly see Claremont United Church of Christ reaching out to our community both in a spiritual and practical way.

I could go on and on about Claremont United Church of Christ. The amazing sermon series, Choir, Children's Ministry, Adult Ministry, Holiday Events. However, I think it would be best if you stopped on by. You just might see a plus sized man with a grey beard chasing around a 4-year-old dressed as Elsa. We would love to say hi to you.
