Our History

North Hollywood Church had it’s beginning in 1953, Dr. Robert Scott was the minister and services were held at the 7th Day Adventist Church in North Hollywood with 54 members. The Charter was in July 1953, incorporated the same year and affiliated with the United Church of Religious Science in January 1954.

The Church rented property on Weddington in North Hollywood in 1955 and purchased the current property at 6161 Whitsett Avenue in September 1959. In 1962-63 additional property was acquired at 6151, 6153 and 6159 Whitsett Avenue. The 6151 Whitsett is our current Youth Church building, 6153 and 6159 Whitsett Avenue became our parking lot in 2004.

Due to the tremendous growth the Sanctuary was enlarged in 2004, with a seating capacity of 330. Renovations were made to the Youth Church in 2007-2008 to allow more space for classes during the week and for the Youth on Sundays. Changes were also made in 2008 to accommodate classes for the Los Angeles Region of the Ernest Holmes Institute, School of Ministry.

The North Hollywood Church has been dynamically led by its Senior Minister, the Rev. Dr. Mark Vierra for the past 18 years.
