[1] Lake Avenue Congregational Church was founded in Pasadena in 1896.

The former sanctuary, now known as the Chapel, is used for a Sunday morning service by the Spanish-speaking community, Communidad de las Américas.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Charles E. Fuller joined Lake Avenue Church in 1933 and became friends with the Senior Pastor James Henry Hutchins, a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute.

Hutchins kept the church away from the Liberal Christianity that was common in Congregationalism at the time.

[4] Fuller held its first classes in the Sunday School rooms of LACC.
