About Bay Shore - Facilities

The initial construction of the present Concert Hall and office wing was completed in 1925. Between 1940 and 1954, the Christian education wing, carillon tower, sanctuary, and youth center were added. The church maintains 23,000 square feet in two separate buildings at the corner of The Toledo and Granada Avenue in the Belmont Shore neighborhood of east Long Beach. The facilities include:

• Sanctuary
• Concert Hall and Kitchen
• Gabrielson Chapel
• Louise Henry Youth Chapel
• Classrooms and Meeting rooms
• Offices
• The Isolda McDonald Youth Center - a full size three-floor gymnasium across the street

In addition, the church owns the Sky Forest Retreat Center, 85 miles away, near Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains.  This three-floor facility is used by church retreat groups and is available for year-round rental by church families.  It has sleeping accomodations for two dozen persons.
