THE CHAPEL IN THE CANYON

-->DISCOVERING OUR VALLEY   2011

For many years, a small chapel existed in Canoga Park on Topanga Canyon. Called The Chapel in the Canyon, became a favorite site for weddings. The Chapel was located back from the street in rancho-like setting. The Western film and recording stars Dale Evans and Roy Rogers were important supporters for the church.

In August, 1964, a bus with children from the Chapel was involved in a crash in Tijuana, Mexico where the group had been on some sort of missionary activity. The daughter of the Rogers, Debbie was among the eight members of the church who died. The Chapel was sold and the group who worshipped there disbanded.
