Lake Avenue Gospel Hall was an open brethren assembly in Pasadena in the Los Angeles metro of California that founded in 1926 by brethren in Los Angeles and Monrovia, and at least thru 1933. Its first correspondent was Robert B. Young.  The assembly commended Miss Miriam J. Grubb to the Lord's work in China in 1932.


There have been many brethren labors in Pasadena, particularly with the exclusives:

  • Raven-Taylor assembly in 1959 at 1883 N. Fair Oaks Ave.,
  • Grant-Booth assembly in 1932-1933 (home assembly then of A.E. Booth)
  • Kelly-Lowe-Continental assembly 1950-current, which the Grants may have joined.
  • Tunbridge Wells (TW) assembly from +1889-1905+ and +1923-1973+, of which it is thought the assembly in nearby Sierra Madre +1908-1969+ may have been a rebranding from Pasadena, coupled with a hive from Los Angeles.
