The Neighborhood Church is five generations of action-oriented people worshipping God and serving others in the Spirit of Jesus. We invite you to continue your spiritual journey along with us. We put our faith and energy into action for the good of the community and embrace service as a priority and responsibility. We are generous with our gifts and our time. We worship together through prayer, music, Bible study and fellowship. Our stunning sanctuary is perched on the cliffs, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and is also an exceptionally beautiful wedding site. One of the first grand estates built in Palos Verdes during the late 1920’s, we are an architectural gem and one of the most beautiful locations in Los Angeles. We have a fully-staffed and dedicated Wedding Ministry. People of all faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs celebrate their marriage here.

History
Established in 1954.

J. J. Haggarty built this mansion in 1927 as his summer residence. This wealthy merchant owned stores and elaborate homes in Los Angeles and New York. His Italian architect designed it in the fashion of villas along the Mediterranean. This building followed the curve of the cliff and had 32 rooms in the original plans. We bought the old Haggarty Estate for $60,000, began renovations that initiated the creation of this beautiful church, and affiliated with the Congregational Christian Church. This building and its lovely grounds seem to have spirituality and are well suited for the purpose. Our present affiliation with United Church of Christ Christ took place in 1961, following the merger of Congregational Churches and Evangelical and Reform Churches. Neighborhood Church has continued to have a creative ministry under the leadership of its clergy and laity. We are proud of our strong commitment to mission and are enriched by the sharing.
