Immanuel Presbyterian Church
Established in Los Angeles in 1888.
Presbyterianism is a Protestant Christian tradition that emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the necessity of grace through faith in Christ.
Presbyterians adhere to Reformed theology based on the teachings of John Calvin, emphasizing predestination and the absolute sovereignty of God.
They believe in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God) and the virgin birth, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Presbyterians accept only two sacraments: baptism and the Lord’s Supper (communion). They practice infant baptism and believe Christ is spiritually present in communion.
The Bible is considered by Presbyterians as the infallible Word of God and the primary source of doctrine.
Founded in 1912, Wilshire Presbyterian Church is a multicultural Christian fellowship on the southeast corner of Third Street and Western Avenue.
