Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church
Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America located at 4660 Caldwell Mill Road. Its history dates to 1854 when Rocky Ridge Cumberland Presbyterian Church was founded by William Acton as a congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
The Altadena congregation moved to its current location in 1912 and adopted the name Acton Memorial Presbyterian Church when it split from Rocky Ridge Church in order to affiliate with the Presbyterian Church in the USA.
It assumed its present name in 1968. Its current sanctuary building was constructed in 1983 as a replica of its older building, which was razed.
The congregation voted to join the Presbyterian Church in America on June 4, 1978. The Acton Memorial Cemetery is adjacent to the church.
