United Methodist Church Hollywood United Methodist Church was founded in 1909
and moved to its present facility on October 19th, 1929. Worship
services were held in the gymnasium until the completion and dedication
of the sanctuary in 1930 and the mortgage was burned in 1945.
Hollywood United Methodist Church is home to the First Stage and Court
Theaters as well as The Oaks School. We have long been a reconciling
congregation welcoming all to our church family. Crescent
Heights United Methodist Church Crescent Heights United Methodist Church began its ministry in Hollywood in 1918 and in 1924 built its current building on the Southeast corner of Fairfax and Fountain streets. The membership and programs are as diverse as the West Hollywood community we serve, from providing adult education that deals with contemporary issues, topics and problems to supporting and caring for one another in fellowship as we develop a strong personal relationship with God. We extend open hearts, open minds and open doors to all.

The first interracial church in Hollywood, Mount Hollywood is an Open Affirming and Just Peace Church of the United Church of Christ.
The Philippine Chamber Singers – Los Angeles (PCS-LA) is bonded by young, dynamic, and vibrant Filipino music-lovers who are passionate about artistic choral singing. The singers aim to function as Philippine ambassadors of arts and goodwill by promoting quintessential Filipino choral literature. Notable performances in its three years of existence include community outreach appearances at the 8th & 10th Hollywood InterFaith Choral Festivals, the 6th, 7th and 9th International Choral Music Festival in Los Angeles (per Dr. Albert McNeil of The Jubilee Singer's invitation) and the 3rd World Festival of Sacred Music Los Angeles. The greatest achievement of the group to date is their participation at the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) 24th biennial National Convention via the opening night performance at the International Concert Session Gala held at Miami, Florida last March 2007. The choir is the first ever local Filipino chorale group that has made the distinction of making an ACDA debut on the National level.
