The Catalina Bible Church was founded in 1964, with its members meeting in
various homes in Avalon to share the Word of God. In March 1965, the
church moved into the 1924 home of the
renown author,
Gene Stratton-Porter where it remains today. In
her lifetime (1863-1924) Porter authored 12 novels, seven nature books, two
books of poetry, children’s books and numerous magazine articles. With an
estimated 50 million readers, her works have been translated into several
foreign languages as well as Braille. Eight of her novels were produced as
motion pictures.
Located just two and a half blocks and a 5 minute walk from the Green Pleasure
Pier at 346 Catalina Avenue. CBC teaches the uncompromising Word of God every Sunday
at 10:00 AM and several evenings during the week to both the English and
Spanish-speaking residents of Catalina Island. |

Our Church Home Needs Repair!
The Catalina Bible Church was founded in 1964, with its members meeting in
various homes in Avalon to share the Word of God. In March 1965, the
church moved into the 1924 home of the
renown author,
Gene Stratton-Porter where it remains today. This wood-framed
structure has taken a beating over the past 83 years from storms, wind, and the
salt air of the Pacific Ocean. It could really use a complete "make-over,"
but right now we would just be happy to see that much needed repairs be
accomplished first to prevent an already worsening situation.

As you can see from the
photos above, we desperately need carpenters, plasterers, electricians, and
painters to restore this wonderful old building into a safe, pleasant place to
live and worship our Lord. Some work has been started in the Pastor's
residence, but was never completed. The church's exterior needs major
repair and painting, including replacing rotting wood and old, decrepit gutters
and downspouts. Our sanctuary needs plastering, painting, and new carpet.
There is also so much "detail" work around the building that needs to be
done! Can you help?
We have limited housing
space to accommodate workers, although many have slept in sleeping bags on our
sanctuary floor! We are happy to feed and pamper anyone who wishes to make
our church on Catalina Island his or her "missionary project" this Summer.
If you feel so led by the Holy Spirit, then please give Pastor Jason a call
directly on his cellphone at 714-403-2488. Thank you and may our Lord
richly reward you!
