Description
"The Romero, Herrera, Enriquez, Zamarripa, and Trevino families were among those who came to Redlands around 1901 to settle and establish the Spanish-speaking chuch La Capillita, Iglesia El Divino Salvador in 1913. The building was the focal point for the Mexican Presbyterian community. The church continued as a primarily Spanish-speaking congregation until 1969, when a combination of factors resulted in a name change and a move away from the conservative, Spanish-language traditions that the church was founded upon. The church was renamed Community Presbyterian in the 1990s and still serves as a spiritual home for English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese-speaking congregations." (Vasquez and Carpio, 30)
