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.
