No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!
We Are a Multicultural, Open and Affirming Church in San Diego
Welcoming You with Open Arms!
Pioneer Ocean View United Church of Christ (POVUCC) is a multicultural, open, and affirming church in San Diego where we embrace our UCC motto: "No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!” We are a warm, inclusive community ready to greet you with open arms.
Join us for worship service on Sundays and stay afterward for lunch and fellowship. Worship includes scripture, music, prayer, and messages that connect faith with the world around us. After worship, everyone is invited to stay for lunch and conversation.
At Pioneer Ocean View UCC, we are a diverse community of people seeking to live and love as Christ taught us. We believe connection matters; that as we draw closer to God, we draw closer to each other, and that drawing closer to each other draws us closer to God. If you are looking for a place to grow in faith, serve with joy, and build community, we hope you'll join us.
– Pastor Mary Sue Brookshire
