Close-up view of the cornerstone for Community Presbyterian Church of Bellflower. The cornerstone is a simple gray stone with an etching that reads: "Unto Him That Loved us", and the year "1948". Community Presbyterian Church of Bellflower is a sprawling Spanish-style building that is painted light beige and has a red-tiled roof (not visible from this angle). It is located at 9630 Mayne Street.; Presbyterianism is predominantly a Christian denomination. The earliest American Presbyterian churches were established in Virginia, New England, Maryland, and Delaware during the 17th century and were mainly of English origin. Portions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States have been separated from the main body, and some parts have reunited several times. The greatest division occurred in 1861 during the American Civil War. The two branches that were created by that division were reunited in 1983 to form the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), which is currently the largest Presbyterian group in this country. In North America, because of past or current doctrinal differences, Presbyterian churches often overlap. Photo dated: April 2004.
