Angelus Temple is a historic Pentecostal church building in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles, California, established by evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson. The temple was constructed in the early 1920s to serve a large congregation and to host radio-broadcast services.

The design emphasizes a large central auditorium intended to accommodate several thousand worshippers, with associated meeting rooms and offices. The building has long been associated with the Foursquare Church movement and with revival-era religious broadcasting in the United States.

Over the decades the temple has continued to function as a house of worship and a focal point for denominational activities, while also being recognised as a historic landmark within Los Angeles.

The temple sits in the Echo Park neighborhood of central Los Angeles, within short driving distance of central downtown and accessible by local streets and public transport.

• Founding: Founded and built under the leadership of evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson; the structure dates to the early 1920s and served as a major Pentecostal meeting place in Los Angeles.

Angelus Temple sits in Echo Park, north of downtown Los Angeles. It’s accessible by car from the 101 or 5 freeways and by local buses; the nearest Metro stops are a short bus or rideshare away.
