About this church
Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church holds two similar Sunday services at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. at 4660 Caldwell Mill Road in Birmingham. Each lasts about seventy-five minutes and averages roughly 175 people. A praise-team prelude begins about five minutes before the posted time. Worship blends traditional and contemporary music with liturgy, congregational singing, prayer, and biblical preaching rather than dividing the two styles into separate services.
Children may remain with their parents throughout worship. A children’s worship option is available for age four through first grade, and nursery care serves children through age three. The congregation belongs to the Presbyterian Church in America and subscribes to the Westminster Confession and Catechisms under the authority of Scripture. It describes itself as a community of Christ’s coming kingdom bringing hope to a broken world, with worship, prayer, mercy, children, youth, and other ministries extending that identity beyond Sunday. For a newcomer, Altadena Valley provides useful scale and pacing information rarely found in a directory: two equivalent services, their normal length and attendance, the five-minute musical prelude, a genuinely blended format, and clear choices for young children.
