How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1 NIV
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

WE BELIEVE
Sin and Salvation
God created humans, but they disobeyed God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, they need God’s saving grace. Salvation comes only through God’s grace and must be received personally by repentance and faith. This accomplishes salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Christ as Savior and Lord.
Jesus Christ and Eternal Life
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for humanity’s sin by dying on the cross as their substitute. Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is the only mediator between humans and God. He will return to earth, will raise the dead and judge all people.
The Holy Spirit and the Church
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ, equipping believers for personal growth and service to the Body of Christ, the church. The church is called to proclaim God’s reconciling grace, to glorify God and serve those in need.
OUR HISTORY
Our History: A Journey of Faith and Home
The story of United in Him Christian Fellowship is one of faith, mission, and migration, tracing its roots to the desire to expand the Gospel and build community across Southern California.
The Founding: The Hesperia Branch
Our church was initially established as a branch of Community Christian Center in Covina, CA. The early ministry was focused in the Hesperia area, where our current United in Him pastors served as Associate Pastors, providing the core leadership and vision for the new community of faith.
Defining Our Identity
The fellowship experienced significant transitions in the years that followed. In 2011, under the leadership of Pastor Dennis and Denise, the church relocated and was re-established as the Community Christian Center Baldwin Park. During this time, the congregation embraced a new identity, officially changing its name to United in Him Christian Fellowship. This name change reflected our deep commitment to unity and fellowship rooted in our shared faith in Christ.
A Path to San Dimas (Our Current Home)
The next few years involved several short-term moves as the church sought a permanent home. After its time in Baldwin Park, the fellowship moved to Covina, and later to Glendora, continuing its mission and ministry in each location.
Ministries: The Life of Our Fellowship
Today, the foundation laid through years of commitment and migration is expressed in a vibrant, multi-generational ministry focused on growth, teaching, and outreach. Our core ministries include:
– Evangelism: Sharing the message of Christ in the community and beyond.
– Children’s Ministry: Laying a strong spiritual foundation for our youngest members.
– Youth Ministry: Equipping middle and high school students to walk in faith.
– Young Adults: Building community and supporting those transitioning into adulthood.
– Bible Study: Deepening our understanding of Scripture through consistent teaching.
– Fellowship: Cultivating strong relationships and unity among our members.
Our Vision for Tomorrow
Building on the unwavering faith and resilience demonstrated throughout our journey, United in Him Christian Fellowship looks forward with great expectation. Our vision is to continue growing as a beacon of unity and truth in San Dimas and the surrounding communities. We are committed to deepening our impact through robust discipleship and passionate outreach, ensuring that our legacy of faith endures for generations to come. We invite you to be a part of the next chapter in our story!
