Immanuel Presbyterian Church

Immanuel Presbyterian Church is a French Gothic church building in Los Angeles featuring a distinctive corner tower and ornate architectural details. The structure contains a large sanctuary with wood furnishings, stained glass windows, and multiple spaces designed for community use.

The congregation was founded in 1888 and moved into its current building in 1929, which was later designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2003. This status recognized the building's architectural importance and its place in the city's heritage.

The church adapted its services from English-only to bilingual worship to reflect the changing community and bring together different language groups who live nearby.

The complex includes art studios, meeting spaces, and dining areas available for visitors and community events. When visiting, you can explore different areas of the building and see how the architecture is used throughout its various rooms.

The building houses three different organs, including a rare three-manual Schlicker organ from 1977 that was among the first of its kind installed in Southern California. This trio of instruments makes the building a special place for music lovers and organ enthusiasts.
