Angelus Temple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angelus Temple is the central house of worship of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles, California. It was constructed under the leadership of the Reverend Aimee Semple McPherson and dedicated on the First of January, 1923. It is currently pastored by Matthew and Caroline Barnett.
The temple, located opposite Echo Park Lake, has a seating capacity of 5,300. The lighted cross, atop the temple's dome, is a longstanding landmark.
L. I. F. E. Bible College was founded in a building adjacent to Angelus Temple. The building is currently the home and base of operations for the Dream Center, which housed many people from the Gulf States displaced after Hurrican Katrina and Hurricane Rita.
Angelus Temple was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. [1]
