Our church is a United Methodist Church and have entered into a shared ministry with Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church. We connect with our past with blended Methodist and Lutheran traditions, yet we serve a living God so our mission is always unfolding before us.

Most importantly, Ramona UMC is a safe place for people who are looking for answers to their spiritual questions. It’s also a place where those who have decided to follow Jesus Christ can learn and be encouraged in their spiritual growth as well as a place to serve.

Our vision is to be an inclusive faith community where every person belongs, every voice is valued, and every heart is nurtured to grow in faith. We take this seriously and welcome everyone in our doors to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.  All are welcome.

We strive to offer an inspiring worship experience. The service begins at  10:00 am and combines elements of a traditional Methodist service such as a choir and hymns while also offering contemporary worship songs. After the service, our fellowship time is a great opportunity to be part of the community and enjoy some snacks.

We serve communion on the first and third Sunday of each month as part of the normal worship service.  It is open to all who are seeking God’s grace and love, but you are not required to participate.

Children are an important part of our community especially Sunday mornings. Children of all ages are always welcome to stay in the sanctuary with their parents, however, we offer a variety of options.

• A “Prayground Area” in the sanctuary is offered for kids to be comfortable and do quiet activities during the worship service. Parents sit nearby to assist children when needed.
• Nursery Care as well as a Community Cares Children’s Group meets during worship. Pre-K and Elementary-age children learn faith development stories and apply them by caring for the community.
• Youth (6th grade – 12th grade) are welcome in worship or volunteer to be youth leaders in Community Cares. They also participate in the Ramona Youth Collaborative for an ecumenical youth group experience on Sunday evenings from 4:00-6:00 pm at First Congregational Church in Ramona.
