The church, originally built in 1944 with a minor budget for a congregation on Compton Avenue in South LA, has a new congregation, Faith Build International. To celebrate the church’s restoration, the congregation is offering the public a rare opportunity to see the only church designed by Schindler on Saturday, April 12, 2014 between 11:00am-1:00pm.
