THE LITTLE TREE CHURCH..

We ate at the Beach Pit BBQ last night (using our Plum District Daily Deal). This was actually our first time in this Old Town Shopping Center. What interested us the most was this little Church that didn't have a "name", and it wasn't open to the public. So I came home and looked it up, and you can read a little about the history of the "Little Tree Church". They even have weddings in there! read below....


1962
The "Little Tree Church," an eight-seat chapel in the parking lot of Jamestown Village on El Camino Real in Tustin, CA -- between Main and Sixth streets -- was constructed around an old oak tree after the completion of the shopping center in 1962. Builder C.T. Gilbreath had razed a Victorian home in order to build the center, but saved the oak tree. The chapel is a miniature version of a church in Tennessee his grandmother attended.
It seats eight people, has an organ. The pulpit is made of a large rock elevated on brick up to pulpit height.
The church is often used for weddings. The atmosphere here is more romantic than the large churches offer and the couple doesn’t have that big bill hanging over their heads to spoil the honeymoon.
Unfortunately, in about 2000, the old oak tree in middle of the "Little Tree Church" died and had to be removed. In 2005, the area around the church was landscaped and a camphor tree planted next to the church.
One day’s rental costs just $100, but you have to clean and decorate the chapel yourself. If interested, call Gerda Brucks of Gerda’s Antiques: (714) 832-4932.

  1. I have never been to the one in Tustin. How was it? We always go to the one in Costa Mesa, which has a little play area right by where you eat outside.
