Grandview Presbyterian Church is located in northwest Glendale, California, seven miles
north of Los Angeles. It is surrounded by the Verdugo Mountains to the east, Griffith Park to the west, the city
of Burbank to the north, and the city of Eagle Rock to the south.
Grandview had its beginning in 1924, as a Presbyterian Mission Project. It began as a Sunday School, under
the Southern California Presbytery. At that time, Glendale was mostly rural and consisted of many vineyards.
Glendale experienced a growth spurt, resulting in the building of single-family dwellings in its northwest
secton - where Grandview had its beginning. This growth spurt necessitated that Grandview supplement its
Sunday School with a preaching service.
Grandview Presbyterian Church was chartered in 1925. It began with 75 members and was housed in the
Grandview Elementary School (now Thomas Jefferson Elementary School) until 1928. Grandview members
moved to its first worship center, now known as the Chapel, directly across the street from the elementary
school. As the church grew, there was a need for a larger facility. A Sanctuary was built in 1957 which holds
450 people.
Grandview experienced significant growth between 1925 and 1967, necessitating the addition of programs,
buildings, and staff in order to effectively minister to its members. Grandview soon became an important
center of social activity as well as religious meetings. By 1967, the church had over seventeen hundred
members.
In the early 70s, Glendale began to experience an influx of immigrants. This greatly changed the make-up of
the neighborhood surrounding Grandview. Today, besides the Grandview congregation, there are 3
ethnically-diverse congregations who use Grandview's facilities for worship: Armenian, Korean, and Sri
Lankan.
