First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood

The First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood is a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California that has had a significant impact on both the Presbyterian Church and evangelical Christianity around the world.

The church was founded in 1903. A large brick gothic sanctuary was built in 1923, and seats 1,800, with a balcony on both sides and in the back. The church campus covers a full square block on Gower Street, one block north of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks from Hollywood and Vine.

The church also founded "Grace Community Church of the Valley" as a mission, later to become Grace Community Church, which was pastored by John F. MacArthur from 1969 to his death in 2025.
