History:

Faith Presbyterian Church of Valley Village has been a reflection of Christ's love and saving grace in the North Hollywood, the Valley Village , and the San Fernando Valley communities for over 65 years, first as First Presbyterian Church of North Hollywood and most recently as Faith Presbyterian Church of Valley Village. The following is a brief outline of our church's history.

During 1940, it started with 61 people meeting together under the trees of a school yard on Moorpark Street in 1940 and deciding to form a Presbyterian congregation.

During 1941, the congregation of First Presbyterian Church of North Hollywood soon began holding worship services in the local Masonic Hall and by April 1941 the congregation had swelled to 112 members, but their development and building plans on a property at Riverside Drive and Westpark were postponed due to war restrictions after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

During 2005, Rev. G. Daniel Clark resigned from his position as pastor of Faith Pres, effective December 31, 2005, accepting a call to shepherd the Warminster Presbyterian Church in Warminster, Pennsylvania, on January 1, 2006. He was greatly missed.
