About Wayfarers Chapel

Wayfarers Chapel is a ministry of the Swedenborgian Church and a National Historic Landmark. With the Chapel carefully disassembled and stored, we are ready to rebuild the Chapel as soon as we secure the prospective new site and raise rebuilding funds. The mission of the Wayfarers Chapel is to nurture the spiritual journey of wayfarers. We welcome people of all faiths to our worship services and to celebrate other important passages of life, including memorial services, baptisms, and weddings. Added to the list of National Historic Landmarks in 2023. Wayfarers Chapel is part of an open-minded, forward-looking Christian denomination, the Swedenborgian Church of North America. Our denomination was founded to help people be more open to the Lord’s presence and leading, to facilitate the spiritual well-being of people, and to increase awareness of the new age in which we live. Wayfarers Chapel is an open and affirming ministry, offering equal blessing and support to all people regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, religious background, or chosen spiritual path. Nestled in a grove of towering redwood trees, the natural sanctuary made of Palos Verdes stone and glass was designed by architect Lloyd Wright. The Chapel's organic architecture gives unique expression to the sanctuary as a sacred space that welcomes all wayfarers along life's path. With its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, the 3.5 acres of the Chapel grounds feature beautifully landscaped gardens, trees forming arbored walkways, a reflection pool with a memorial fountain, a colonnade, a rose garden with walkways of engraved pavers, a hillside stream, and a visitors center. The Chapel and its grounds are a living parable. The harmony of glass, wood, and stone, combined with the beauty of the natural surroundings, symbolizes the integral relationship of our inner world of mind and spirit with God’s universe.
