Our History

Alhambra True Light Presbyterian Church (ATLPC) was established in May 1996 through the merger of First Presbyterian Church of Alhambra and True Light Chinese Presbyterian Church, both with rich histories exceeding a century in proclaiming God’s word and serving locally and abroad. This union was initiated to enhance ministry effectiveness in the West San Gabriel Valley, combining the predominantly Caucasian congregation of First Presbyterian with the multigenerational, primarily Chinese congregation of True Light.

In 2008, ATLPC expanded its outreach by introducing a Mandarin-speaking ministry, complementing its existing English and Cantonese services. In 2020, the church transitioned from the Presbyterian Church (USA) to the Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians (ECO), reflecting its commitment to evangelical principles. Today, ATLPC continues to serve a diverse, multilingual community, striving to glorify God and make disciples of all nations.
