History

Corona United Methodist Church, established in 1880, stands as the oldest church in Corona, California.

Located at 2880 Californa Avenue, 92881, the church’s roots extend back to the late 19th century, a period of significant growth and development in Southern California.

Founded by a group of pioneering families, including key figures like H.C. Kellogg, George L. Joy, Samuel Merrill, A.S. Garretson, and Adolph Rimpau, the church emerged during a time when the area was transitioning from ranching to agriculture and small-town settlement.

The church’s land was acquired from historic Rancho holdings – Rancho La Sierra, Rancho Temescal, and Rancho Serrano – reflecting the church’s integration into the region’s foundational history.

Initially serving a small, tight-knit community, Corona United Methodist Church has grown over the decades, offering a range of ministries for all ages, including Sunday School, youth programs, and adult groups.

The church continues to hold traditional services every Sunday at 10:00 AM and offers facilities for weddings and receptions, as well as services for funerals.

It remains a vital part of the Corona community, preserving its historical legacy while adapting to the needs of the present.
