Churches of Glendora

St. Dorothy offers the full range of sacramental services, baptisms, weddings and funerals, alongside regular Mass in both English and Spanish.

The parish runs community events and social gatherings through the year, and operates St. Dorothy Catholic School for grades K–8 on the same site, which makes it a practical consideration for families weighing schooling as well as worship.

The congregation offers both traditional and contemporary worship, plus a range of small groups.

It is known locally for social justice and outreach work, supporting local food banks, disaster relief efforts and programmes for people experiencing homelessness. If you want a congregation where service work is central rather than peripheral, this is the one people point to.

Contemporary services, with activities organised by age group rather than a single all-ages format.

The emphasis is on small groups and service projects, so newcomers tend to find their way in through a group rather than through the Sunday service alone.

Offers both traditional and contemporary worship, so it suits households that do not agree on style.

Small groups, Bible studies and service projects run alongside services. Its position on N Glendora Ave puts it within walking distance of much of the Village.

Grace has served Glendora for more than a hundred years and is known locally for its music programme.

Worship follows the Episcopal tradition, gathered around Word and Sacrament. The parish sits on E Mountain View Ave on the north-east side of the city, not in the Village, so plan on driving unless you live nearby.

Founded in 1915 and originally based in downtown Los Angeles, the Church of the Open Door relocated to Glendora and has been part of the community here for decades.

Non-denominational evangelical, with a large campus on W Sierra Madre Ave, just west of St. Lucy’s Priory. Worth knowing about if you are moving into the north side of the city.

Affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention through the Los Angeles Southern Baptist Association and the California Southern Baptist Convention.

Constituted in April 1949, which makes it one of the longer-established congregations in Glendora. On N. Grand Ave, north of the 210.

The Glendora meetinghouse sits on East Route 66. Meetinghouses host the congregations (wards) assigned to the area, and which ward you attend is determined by where you live.

Visitors are welcome at Sunday services. Check the official location page for current meeting times, as ward schedules within a building are periodically reorganised.
