A Place for the Spirit… Our simplified Spanish Mission style building, with its stucco walls, redwood beams and tile roof, has been called a "jewel within the jewel of La Jolla," a place of spiritual renewal and contemplation in the middle of a busy seacoast community. Designed by noted architect Carleton Monroe Winslow, Sr., who also designed some of the finest buildings in San Diego’s Balboa Park, the building was completed in 1916. A pipe organ, built in 1926, renovated in 1985, and augmented recently, adds the beauty of great music to worship services and weddings in this lovely place. Many visitors sense immediately the vibrant spiritual atmosphere of our sanctuary.

Stained glass windows created half a century ago by Judson Studios complete the design. Traditional and innovative design elements are combined in the windows Thirty panels on the south wall depict the life of Jesus, from the Nativity to the Ascension. Twelve panels on the north wall depict Hebrew Bible themes, including a magnificent "Creation" window. Over the entrance is a window honoring King David, with a harp, a crown and a Star of David.
Bell Tower… The unique open bell tower features a replica of a mission bell, rung at the beginning and end of each service and in celebration of each wedding. It was installed in 1959.
