Little Church on the Island
Pastor Dominguez was in the process of remodeling the church as well as the living quarters upstairs that will be used by his family when I visited. The church is actually located in a house called "Singing Waters" which was previously owned by the author Gene Stratton Porter before one of the former pastors bought it in 1967.
The church is a small, modest one that has waxed and waned in membership since its start in 1963. Right now, it seems to be growing, but has room for more. They are currently turning the kitchen into a professional style kitchen to serve meals. Also, rooms are being expanded to hold more people and activities.
Pastors Sanchez and Dominguez hold services in English and Spanish. English services are on Sundays at 11AM and Spanish services are at 6PM on the same day. There is also Sunday school after worship services and bible studies during the week.
This church services people who live in Avalon, but visitors are always welcomed and there is a family sort of atmosphere.
I would encourage people who are planning to visit the island to visit this Bible based Christian church. They are located at and their mailing address is:
346 Catalina Ave/PO Box 1544
Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, CA
90704
They are actually very close to the harbor, about a mile or less and it's an easy walk.
Their phone number, for any questions, is: (310)510-0073
Their e-mail address is: catalinabiblechurch@gmail.com

Post a CommentThanks for the comments! I hear that he's done some modifications to the building and has added some new outreach programs. But, he's still there at that location, preaching.
Great info for the church-going traveler for sure.
This looks like a very comfy and welcoming church. I enjoyed reading about it.
Thanks for the comment, Jeff.
