Welcome to Neighborhood Church. All are welcome here!
We have one service at 10:00am. Our beautiful campus is located at 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd. in Pasadena right next to the historic Gamble House. The parking lot is directly in front of the church, and accessible spots are available. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or email info@neighborhooduu.org.
We look forward to welcoming you in person!
What should I wear?
It’s up to you! We’re a diverse congregation and so while some people dress up in their Sunday best, others opt for jeans and casual wear. Wear what feels comfortable to you. During summer, though, we do recommend a light sweater as the air conditioning can make the Sanctuary a little chilly!
Where should my children go during the service?
Families with children are always welcome in the sanctuary on Sundays. In addition, there is a play area in the narthex entryway for our younger children and babies. Older kids who don’t need help from grownups and adults of all ages are welcome in the quiet crafting area in the sanctuary during the service.
Our children and youth faith engagement programs run from September through May. The weekly Neighborhood UU Church newsletter includes information about upcoming services and children and youth programming. When you arrive on campus on Sunday, you can ask a member of staff about the children and youth offerings for that day.
Are masks required?
No, masks are not required. Everyone is free to make their own decision about behavior in relation to masking and social distancing, while recognizing and respecting others’ decisions. Please be respectful of others and if you are feeling unwell or showing signs of sickness, please stay home and watch our services on-line. A “masks only” area with space for social distancing is available during the service.
Where are the restrooms?
There are restrooms available throughout the Neighborhood campus. In the main Sanctuary off the foyer, there are gender-inclusive restrooms as well as changing tables. The programs building on the north side of our campus has wheelchair-accessible restrooms and the Neighborhood House has a family-style restroom available upon request.
What will happen when I first arrive?
As you walk towards the Sanctuary, our Welcome Committee volunteers will greet you, answer any of your questions, and invite you to get a nametag. You will also be invited to fill out a visitor card. This card will help the church to better understand who is visiting, what they’re looking for, and if you would like us to follow up with news of church events and activities. The Welcome Table also has information about church programs, membership, and church events. Stop by before or after the service to learn more!
What happens during the service?
You may sit wherever you’d like! Our services last about an hour and include opening words, music from our choir, hymn singing, an offering, and a sermon. After the service the minister will be standing at the main door if you’d like to say hello. You can also stop by our welcome table, social justice table, or Lifespan Faith Engagement table, to learn more about our various programs.
