About

Islamic Center of Chula Vista, known locally as Masjid Al Momineen, anchors the South Bay's Muslim worship community from Third Avenue in the city's walkable downtown district. Five daily congregational salat services structure the center's schedule inside a ground-level prayer hall situated along the same Third Avenue civic corridor as the Chula Vista Public Library Civic Center Branch. Nondenominational in jurisprudential approach, the masjid draws worshippers across Sunni schools of thought for weekly Jumu'ah prayers, Ramadan tarawih observances, and dual Eid celebrations. Quranic study circles and community iftar gatherings supplement the core prayer cycle, extending the center's role beyond ritual worship into educational and social programming for families across the 91911 ZIP corridor. Third Avenue's density of cultural and civic institutions—from the public library to the On Stage Playhouse performance venue—makes the mosque's location one of the most walkable institutional nodes in western Chula Vista. The single-story prayer facility at 1280 Third Avenue includes a primary musallah, dedicated wudu ablution station, and full ADA-compliant access with wheelchair-rated entry, parking, and restroom facilities.
