Unlike most California churches (think of the Crystal Cathedral) and more functional mega-churches (often converted warehouses), this classic is filled with stained glass windows, a grand organ, wooden pews, and marble floors. Stanford uses it to serve the entire religious campus community (including Jewish students), but it is still preeminently a church. Very different look for this part of the... More

The interior has a great mural of many religions different founders, which emphasizes it as a non-denominational place of worship, even if it is called a church.

I recommend you take in a concert here if possible. It is so beautiful at night with music echoing.

Right here, close to where you live, is a spectacular massive church like you would see in Britain or Europe. It rivals everything I have ever seen in my travels.

As if the Stanford campus isn't beautiful enough, this church will knock your socks off!

We so enjoy events here. We make a point to hear Chanticleer every Christmas season. What a special way to spend an evening.

The best mosaics this side of the Atlantic! Stanford campus has beautiful outdoor art and is worth a visit all on its own, but if you see one Church in all of America it should be this Church.
