History of St. John's Episcopal Church

St. John's Episcopal church was founded in 1941, an outcome of mission work of the Diocese of Los Angeles. The mission work was undertaken by Captain Charles Condor in a trailer called St. Christopher's Chapel, a trailer which included a church altar and living quarters for Dr. Condor and his wife. When St. John's was founded there were 60 baptized members and Captain Conder was the first pastor.

St. John's Church was built at its present location in 1948. The parish hall was built in 1954.

Father Al Murray became the priest in charge in 2005. He made the decision to have one Sunday bilingual service rather than an English and a Spanish service. Thus two congregations merged and a multicultural and bilingual church was begun. Today St. John's is a unique and growing congregation where people of all ages and backgrounds are finding a place in the SON.
