First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood is a massive complex located at the intersection of Gower Street and Carlos Avenue. The church grounds take up the entire block and include three chapels, a theater, a school and a trio of parking lots.
The church was established in 1903 by the Rev. Dr. Henry Newell and his wife, Lizzie. Today it is led by pastor Dan Baumgartner. Church events include the foster- and adoptive-family picnic, weekly intercessory prayer and the Good and Beautiful Life Dinner.
The church also sponsors international missionary work to Africa and the Middle East. Services are offered in English and Spanish.
