Pioneer Memorial United Methodist Church

Nestled in historic Independence, we enjoy amazing views of the Eastern Sierra. With a small town charm, Independence is also the Inyo county seat. Everywhere you look, there is a piece of Owens Valley history. But this is not just a historic town - we are continually looking ahead to ways we will continue to share the gospel and love of Christ with the surrounding community.

Whether you are from around here, vacationing in the mountains, or just passing through, our doors are open. No matter where you’re from or where you’re going, you’re sure to feel at home here at Pioneer Memorial.

We see ourselves as a community parish. We hold community meals every few months, enjoy providing space for community groups to meet, and work to reach out to those in the community that are struggling.

All are welcome here - whether you live here in town, are a seasonal resident, or are just visiting. We are a family here - and we’re always glad to get to know a new brother or sister!

Worship Services are on Sundays at 9:30am in the Sanctuary.
Potluck follows the service on the first Sunday of the month.
Bible Study is at noon on Wednesdays in the Social Hall.
